With more than 30 years of experience in the construction industry, Max brings with him a proven track record as a leader in the concrete business. He holds a degree in Civil Engineering and has post-graduate qualifications in Quarrying.

Max Colligan said: “I am delighted to be joining Aggregate Industries at such an exciting time for the business and the industry. In a market that’s always changing and evolving, it’s never been more important to understand what customers need and ensure we can make their lives easier through an agile and tailored service offering. I look forward to making my mark on the division and encourage sustained success.”

Guy Edwards, chief executive officer at Aggregate Industries, said: “We have decided to separate the previously combined Asphalt and Ready Mix Concrete businesses in order to serve our customers better, further develop the business, and to innovate and increase the breadth of our product portfolio.

“We are confident that by creating a dedicated product line focus, we will be better positioned to deliver our customer-centric strategy. With his far-reaching experience, we’re confident Max will be a real asset to the executive committee and the wider business.”
