Hills Quarry Products has secured a lease over the Royal Wootton Bassett Rail Depot

Aggregates are delivered by rail, processed on site and loaded onto vehicles.

The lease includes a supply agreement with Aggregate Industries who will continue to deliver a range of limestone products via rail from Torr Quarry in the Mendips to the rail depot site, with Hills taking over responsibility for the operation of the site along with sales and distribution of the aggregate products.

Peter Andrew, group director for Quarry Products, said: “We completed the extraction of the current limestone reserve at our Shorncote Quarry in November last year and this operation enhances the range of limestone products that we can provide to our customers.”
