The Materials Handling Engineers’ Association (MHEA)

The MHEA’s Site visit to Breedon’s, Holme Hall Quarry

In March 2025 the Association organised a successful site visit to Breedon’s Holme Hall Quarry.  The evening prior to the visit the Association hosted a dinner for the attendees at Hellaby Hall Hotel, providing a valuable opportunity for networking in a relaxed and welcoming setting…. that was very well received by the members.

Holme Hall Quarry

Holme Hall Quarry is owned and operated by the Breedon Group, a leading supplier of construction materials. The area has been mined and restored as it should be and Breedon continue this restoration work today.

At the quarry, Breedon have Tarmac and Marshalls on-site, two internal customers for them and it works very well.

Everything at the quarry is transported via conveyors, eliminating the need for dumpers which makes the operation cost-effective and ensures lower emissions.  The plant was originally established in 2004 and remains largely unchanged albeit with a few upgrades. One of the newer additions is their internal washing plant, which enables Breedon to wash dust for use in concrete production.
