What Mone Bros does

Mone Bros (legal entity MONE BROS EXCAVATIONS LTD, with parent Mone Brothers Group Limited) is an independent, family-run building and landscaping materials supplier headquartered in Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, founded in 1965 by brothers Phil, James and John Mone. The company operates a vertically integrated model spanning own-quarry extraction at Blackhill Quarry (acquired 1979, source of Bramley Fall sandstone used in heritage projects such as the Houses of Parliament and Blackfriars Bridge), recycled aggregate and PAS100 compost production at Cross Green and West Bradford recycling facilities, bulk quarrying at Eggborough and Temple quarries, and retail/trade distribution from Bramhope, New Farnley, and Bradford depots. The product range covers aggregates (recycled Type 1 hardcore, washed 10/20/40mm aggregates, grit and river sand), decorative gravels, topsoil and compost, Indian sandstone and porcelain paving, Artstone walling, cement (Holcim), jointing compounds (Pavetuf), and composite landscaping products (Piranha), plus grab-hire waste removal from licensed waste transfer stations.

The company sells through an e-commerce website (monebrosdiy.co.uk) with VAT-inclusive unit pricing on bulk bags and per-square-metre paving, complemented by click-and-collect at Bramhope, own-fleet HIAB and tipper delivery across Yorkshire, and pallet-network distribution to Mainland England, Scotland and Wales. Customer segments are split between DIY homeowners (primary, retail) and trade/construction professionals (primary, trade-only sites), with a secondary commercial/business properties segment. Pricing is pay-as-you-go unit-based, with bulk discounts on written request and delivery fees calculated by weight and distance. There is no disclosed external funding, no PE/VC ownership, and the business remains family-controlled with no reported ownership changes.
