Our evolved strategy Breedon 3.0

Breedon 3.0 is the latest iteration of our growth strategy. 

Our strategy has evolved at intervals since Breedon was formed but always with the same simple principle at its core: deliver profitable growth, by efficiently providing essential materials to structurally growing end-markets and executing carefully considered acquisitions in target geographies.

Key to operating our successful model are our values. Our intention to Keep it Simple and Strive to Improve is evident in this evolution of our strategy, Breedon 3.0, where we have simplified and clarified how we will deliver our next chapter of growth, ensuring our strategy relates directly to the day-to-day activities of our operational colleagues.

  • We have retained our emphasis on profitable growth through the core driving forces of Expand and Improve.
  • The implementation of our strategy is viewed through the lenses of:

     - People: Our people make Breedon unique
     - Sustainability: Operating sustainably  
     - Finance: Disciplined financial framework

 

Breedon is a consolidator and M&A is at the heart of our strategy

  • Since formation, we have built three vertically-integrated platforms in GB, Ireland and, most recently, the US, unlocking value in the process.
  • We balance M&A with organic growth by serving structurally-attractive end-markets in geographies that benefit from long-term growth prospects.
  • The launch of our scalable third platform in the US through the carefully targeted acquisition of BMC delivers an optimal combination of both these routes to Expand.
  • Our ambition in the next decade is to grow the US business to be as large as the GB and Ireland businesses combined.

Replenishing minerals, unlocking efficiencies, driving innovation

  • By bringing the assets we acquire onto our vertically-integrated platforms, we can unlock efficiencies, drive innovation and provide our customers with a reliable and trusted supply chain partner.
  • This continual process creates a virtuous cycle of enhancement, complementing end-market growth and M&A with self-help, enabling us to outperform our markets

There is abundant evidence of how operating our vertically-integrated, asset-backed model in accordance with our values and strategic priorities is making a material difference for all our stakeholders

  • People: 
    Improving the health, safety and wellbeing of our team is a constant objective. In 2024 we added nearly 600 colleagues through the acquisition of BMC. On completion of the transaction, enhancing safety practices and procedures took priority and we saw immediate benefits, not only reducing time lost to injuries by 80% but also their severity. 

  • Sustainability: 
    Operating our business sustainably is a strategic imperative and at the forefront of every decision we take. Breedon has always taken its responsibility to its people and its communities seriously and we have committed to increase our disclosure and transparency while working towards reducing our carbon footprint. 
  • Finance: 
    Our financial framework governs how we connect thoughtful capital allocation to strategy, facilitating multiple routes to growth. By prioritising profitable growth, through-cycle investment and responsible leverage, the framework has served us well, ensuring a strong balance sheet, healthy returns and strategic financial flexibility.
