Tarmac’s Tunstead Cement Plant, located near Buxton, in the Peak District, opened its gates to host a family day event, allowing colleagues to share their workplace with their loved ones.

The Newark-based YMCA Community & Activity Village welcomed special guests and supporters from organisations, including Tarmac, to celebrate the official opening of new cycling facilities.  

Tarmac joined Walsall Council officers and colleagues from Crown Highways, Amey Consulting and CLM Construction as part of a social value exercise to tackle litter along Willenhall Greenway. 

Tarmac has welcomed over 30 apprentices and graduates to the business, as it strives to upskill and grow talent within the construction industry.

  Earlier this year, Tarmac provided a donation of £100,000 to Bolsover District Council towards the construction of a brand-new Heritage and Wellbeing Centre in Creswell, Derbyshire.  

The first trial melt has been completed as part of the innovative Cement 2 Zero project, which aims to develop the world’s first zero-emissions cement on an industrial scale.  

A family affair – Mother Julie, and her daughters Leah and Kelsey Nolan have been busy carving out what they hope to be long and successful careers with the company.

A £16,000 grant from the Tarmac Landfill Communities Fund has seen Whaley Park Pump Track in Derbyshire receive a much-needed repair.

To commemorate 120 years since Tarmac’s founder Edgar Hooley first perfected how to make road surfaces stick, the company’s illustrious history and its work on iconic infrastructure and construction projects is being marked with a special ‘through the years’ showcase being hosted across the business’ social media channels.
