Tudor Griffiths, Managing Director, Tudor Griffiths Group
“Not only is
Shropshire
a beautiful place to live and work, its unique topography has formed the backbone of our business for decades. The county’s ‘lake district’ as Ellesmere is know, is a legacy of the last great ice age, and we have been quarrying the sand and gravel here since the last century. It makes me proud to think that our aggregates have been used throughout the country on some major building works over the years, and hopefully will continue to do so for decades to come.”
