Congratulations to Ian Ollerenshaw, who is celebrating an impressive 30 years with Longcliffe.

Ian has spent his career working across Brassington Moor Quarry and Ryder Point, before returning to Brassington Moor where he is now Quarry Supervisor.

His connection with Longcliffe goes back even further. Ian’s late father, Ken, worked with us as a dumper driver, while Ian’s son Tommy is now part of the team as an electrician, making it three generations of the Ollerenshaw family to have worked at Longcliffe.

We hope he enjoyed raising a glass to 30 years of service while on holiday in Cornwall with his wife Michelle.

Thank you Ian for your hard work, commitment and contribution over the past three decades.

We were pleased to take part in the Derbyshire Brain Game once again, supporting Marie Curie UK and the vital care it provides to people across Derbyshire.

It was also a successful night for the Longcliffe team, who won this year’s Brain Game. Representing Longcliffe were John Shields, Darren Mooney, John Bradshaw, Nelson Gonzalez, Julie Carey, Sarah Wholey, Tony Woodroffe, Ian McDonald, Mark Whittaker and Chris Wainwright.

Now a well-established fixture in the Derbyshire business calendar, the annual quiz brought local businesses together to raise funds for Marie Curie care in the county. The auction raised around £60,000, including £950 for a prize donated by Longcliffe - a tour of our quarry.

Since 2011, the Derbyshire Brain Game has raised nearly £500,000 for Marie Curie, with £66,042 raised in 2024 alone, equivalent to 2,861 hours of nursing care.

It was a fantastic example of the local business community coming together for an important cause, and we were proud to support it again this year.

Well done to everyone involved!

We were pleased to welcome Simon Chan, Editor of Quarry Management, to Longcliffe for a tour of our Derbyshire operations.

The tour included some of the major projects currently progressing across our sites, including the new agricultural lime granulation plant and the early stages of the Aldwark South quarry extension.

Simon also met with Managing Director Paul Boustead and members of the Longcliffe team to learn more about the business, our current investment programme and our plans as we approach our centenary year.

We look forward to seeing the full feature in Quarry Management magazine in early 2027.

Back-to-back promotions for Wirksworth & Middleton Cricket Club!

Congratulations to the 1st XI, who will compete in Division 1 of the Derbyshire County Cricket League next season after securing a second successive promotion.

It caps another successful season across the club, from strong performances by the senior and youth teams to 45 young players taking part in its All Stars and Into Cricket sessions.

We’re proud to have sponsored the club for eight years and to continue supporting an organisation that plays such an important role in our local community.

Congratulations to everyone involved, and best of luck for next season.

Another major milestone for our new granulated lime plant, and a great example of the teamwork involved in delivering a project of this scale.

Four new silos have now arrived at our Brassington Moor Quarry site following a four-day journey from their manufacturer in Germany. Each is 22 metres long, 3.75 metres wide and capable of holding around 200 tonnes of fine powder used in the production process.

Getting them safely from factory to site and into position has involved careful planning and coordination between our own project team, contractors, specialist drivers and crane operators. The 31.5-metre-long delivery vehicles required some impressive manoeuvring on site, before cranes of up to 140 tonnes lifted the silos into place.

A huge team effort, and another significant step forward for this major investment.

We’re continuing to invest in our vehicle fleet, with new tippers and tankers joining the operation.

The latest additions include upgraded Volvo FH Aero tractor units, featuring an enhanced aerodynamic design developed to improve fuel efficiency.

The new tippers will support our aggregates service, while the additional tankers will strengthen our capacity to deliver industrial powders to customers across the UK.

An important investment in maintaining a modern, efficient fleet and supporting a reliable delivery service for our customers.

A brilliant effort from colleagues across Longcliffe as we came together for this year’s Macmillan Coffee Morning.

Teams at Head Office, Curzon Lodge and Brassington Moor Quarry took part in a Bake Off-themed event, with plenty of homemade treats and a little friendly competition for the title of best bake.

Congratulations to Yvonne, who took the top spot with her coffee and walnut cake, and thanks to everyone who baked, donated and got involved.

Together, we raised £667.87 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

It was great to welcome members of our Liaison Committee back to Longcliffe for their latest twice-yearly meeting and site tour.

The visit included updates on our new quarry extension - Aldwark South; our new agricultural lime granulation plant; and developments at our Curzon Lodge transport depot.

These meetings are an important opportunity to share what’s happening across the business, while giving local representatives the chance to ask questions and provide feedback.

Great to see our major investment project continuing to take shape and remaining on track for completion by the end of 2026.

Our new multi-million-pound granulation plant at Brassington Moor Quarry will produce high-purity granulated lime, helping UK farmers optimise soil pH, support crop health and improve fertiliser efficiency.

It is one of Longcliffe’s most significant investments in decades and another important step in our long-standing commitment to British agriculture.
