Johanna O’Driscoll, financial director of Tarmac, has today (17 October) been announced as one of the top 100 Most Influential Women in the engineering sector. 

Tarmac is taking part in an innovative trial led by John Sisk & Son to become the first in Europe to introduce lifting robotics to a construction site.

Train enthusiasts from across the country enjoyed a one-off treat at the weekend when local quarry operator Tarmac gave special permission for UK Rail Tours to run a Charter Train, The Cottam Farewell, into its railhead at Barrow-upon-Soar. The railhead is the sidings area next to the main line, where empty southbound trains stop to be loaded and weighed. The busy railhead is usually working flat out to supply pink granite – a vital building material – to construction projects across the country.

A Tarmac shift manager rescued a stranded motorist after the car she was driving in got stuck in flood water near to Mountsorrel quarry in Leicestershire.

Tarmac is celebrating after winning a prestigious rail industry award for the successful UK-first introduction of giant off-loading machinery which is driving productivity and efficiency. 

Tarmac has hosted a panel discussion with senior management drawn from Tarmac, Balfour Beatty and Atkins. 

More than a dozen representatives from the UK’s National Parks have visited Tarmac’s Swinden Quarry in North Yorkshire so they can learn more about the importance of quarrying in the Yorkshire Dales. 

Today (Tuesday 17 September) marks the start of the UK National Parks Conference, a biennial event that brings together the key decision-makers from across the UK’s 15 National Parks. 

Tarmac has been shortlisted for five prestigious awards recognising excellence and commitment to innovation and best practice in the highways sector.
