Prudhoe-based road maintenance firm Northumbrian Roads has been acquired by Aggregate Industries, part of the LafargeHolcim Group. Northumbrian Roads, which has depots at the Port of Tyne and the Port of Sunderland, was established in the late 1980s by the late John Lynch and his business partner George Barton. Among the high-profile jobs it has been involved in was the re-surfacing of Sunderland s Wearmouth Bridge last year. Sean Lynch, Managing Director of Northumbrian Roads Limited, added: “Ever since the company was founded by my father John Lynch and business partner George Barton over 31 years ago, we have progressively grown the company, focusing on strong relations with our customers, teamwork and innovation, complemented by the highest quality materials and a first class service.

Aggregate Industries, a member of the LafargeHolcim Group, has acquired Northumbrian Roads Limited, a leading independent road surfacing and highway maintenance contractor with a very strong presence in the North East market, due to their two large asphalt plants in the Port of Tyne and the Port of Sunderland.
The acquisition is in line with Aggregate Industries’ Strategy 2022 – ‘Building for Growth’ and will allow the company to strengthen its market position in order to support the much-needed major infrastructure schemes which will lead the economic recovery following the Covid-19 pandemic.
Guy Edwards, CEO of Aggregate Industries UK, said: “We have been very impressed with the Northumbrian Roads Limited business. They share the same values; including a strong health and safety culture and their expertise and approach to customer service, so I believe that they will be a great addition to our portfolio.”
