The brief

Reliable distribution capacity across primary and recycled aggregate operations

Holcim is a global building solutions supplier operating cement, aggregate and ready-mix businesses throughout the United Kingdom. The UK operation maintains an extensive network of quarries, recycling facilities and distribution depots, requiring sustained transport capacity to serve its regional construction markets.

The client required a transport partner capable of providing reliable contracted capacity for both primary aggregate distribution and recycled material movements from secondary processing facilities, supported by the documentation and reporting standards expected of a multinational operator.

The solution

Site-inducted drivers and tipper combinations matched to load profile

Loaden Haulage allocates 44-tonne articulated tipper combinations to Holcim work, with drivers fully inducted to the safety procedures applicable at each loading site. Vehicle selection accounts for the abrasive nature of the loads, the road conditions at typical destinations, and the weighbridge tolerances required by Holcim's commercial documentation.

Routine reporting is provided in formats compatible with the client's transport management systems, including weighbridge ticket capture, GPS location data and weekly summaries of completed movements. Vehicle presentation and driver conduct are maintained to standards reflective of the Holcim brand at all loading and delivery points.

The outcome

Recognised vendor status across regional operations

Sustained operational performance has secured Loaden Haulage's position as a recognised transport supplier within Holcim's regional vendor framework, with established lanes serving major construction projects across the South Midlands and East Anglia.

The relationship continues to evolve as Holcim UK expands its recycled aggregate capacity, with Loaden Haulage well-positioned to support the additional distribution requirements arising from that activity.
