Brief History
- In 1958 C & G opened its first readymixed depot at Newark, Notts.
- New depots rapidly followed at Stamford and Grantham, then Peterborough and King's Lynn.
- C & G had been an early member of the British Ready Mixed Concrete Association (BRMCA) and in 1967 had been one of the originators of its Authorisation Scheme. This industry wide scheme provided assurance that when one cubic yard or metre was ordered, our customer actually got the measured one cubic yard or metre. It gave assurance that with nominal mixes such as 1:3:6 and 1:2:4 our customer actually got the full amount of cement they were entitled to from that product description. It introduced the concept of routine statistical production control testing, replacing the old way by which customers were responsible for all product tests.
- In the 1970's, C & G re-built depots acquired from Redland at Lincoln, Sleaford and Skegness; from Hennebique Concrete at Boston and Woodhall Spa; and from Amey Premix at Market Deeping. In 1974 new depots were built at Gedney and Market Rasen to give good customer service over a wide area.
- In 1980, an additional depot at Downham Market was acquired.
- By the early 1980s it was clear that the industry led BRMCA Authorisation Scheme should be replaced by a stronger independently chaired quality scheme, with equal representation from industry and customer interests, and with stronger teeth for the enforcement of standards. So was born in May 1984 the Quality Scheme for Ready Mixed Concrete. By 1988, QSRMC had been accredited by Government to provide certification of producers' quality management systems, and of their product conformity. The chief executive of C & G was a founder member of QSRMC's Governing Board.
- In both the 1980's and again in the 1990's senior C & G executives have served as Chairmen of BRMCA, the UK national trade association for the ready mixed industry. From 1997 to 2000, C & G 's Chairman served as President of the European Ready Mixed Concrete Organisation (ERMCO), having represented the UK industry at the European level since the retirement from that task in 1989 of RMC Group's John Camden.
- In August 1989, the increasing need for quality mortar made it possible for C & G to introduce their Trowel Ready Mortar, which is now available throughout our trading territory, together with Screeds and Plaster.
- In 1998 the Caistor based quarrying firm of J W Hurdiss Ltd was acquired, to extend operations to the Humber River, and to widen our product range into all types of quarry materials, supplied to all classes of customer.
- In 2004, they changed their trading style to C & G Construction Solutions and brought J W Hurdiss fully into the family as C & G Quarried Products.
