Aggregate Industries has won a £20 million contract to resurface and maintain Leicester’s roads for the next two years. 

Aggregate Industries has its group headquarters near Coalville in Leicestershire where it also operates its Bardon Hill Quarry and asphalt plants. This latest contract builds on the company’s proven success during a four-year contract with Leicester City Council, during which it delivered major road improvements and maintenance schemes across the city.

The business has previously held the contract for Leicester City Council’s carriageways between 2020 and 2024 and this latest contract will run for a period of a further two years, with an option of two extensions of 12 months each. 

Kevin Murgatroyd, Managing Director for Aggregate Industries’ Contracting division said: “We’re thrilled to be part of this ongoing project in our hometown of Leicester. Securing this contract is a great win for our team and showcases our proven track record in working for Leicester City Council”. 

Martin Fletcher, City Highways Director expressed his confidence in Aggregate Industries’ work: “After a robust procurement process, Leicestershire based supplier Aggregate Industries UK has secured a two-year contract with the city council. The company has a strong history of delivering road maintenance schemes in the region, including Leicester. We look forward to continuing our collaboration to enhance the safety, quality and longevity of Leicester’s roads for both residents and visitors alike”.
