Concrete manufacturer to expand with £3.1m investment

Founded by Wilbert Moore in 1978, Moore Concrete is a supplier of precast products to the agricultural, building and civil sectors.

The investment, supported by Danske Bank, will see Moore Concrete expand its facilities by constructing three new factories totalling 51,128 sq ft.

The recently completed additional production space is equipped with six overhead cranes and an extension of the Conflex concrete distribution from the company’s two mixers.

Wilbert Moore, founder and MD of Moore Concrete Products, said: "This investment into our facility extension with three new factories allows us to increase capacity and further grow our civils business in the concrete industry. 

"The extension enables us to complete work in a safe way, which is our number one priority, as well as secure employment for the hard-working team we have and further grow the business as we become a world class facility. "We have a long trading history with Danske Bank and their support has enabled us to achieve several strategic and operational goals over the years through asset-based lending, business loans and digital banking services." James Kilgore, senior business manager at Danske Bank added: "Moore Concrete Products is an exceptional family business that has grown steadily through the years by innovating, adapting and understanding the markets in which they operate. 

"We are delighted to support Moore Concrete in their latest investment of three substantial new factories which will enable them to grow their offering, employment and outputs, as well as the investment into research and development across the business."
