At the heart of our business is our people. Congratulations to our Development Director Ian McDonald who is celebrating an incredible 47 years with us!

Ian began as an electrical apprentice in July 1979. Once he’d finished his apprenticeship through Chesterfield College of Technology, he moved on to become the site electrician and began mentoring new apprentices. In 1996 he became Quarry Manager for both Brassington Moor and Ryder Point Quarries; and then finally in 2021 he took on his current role.

“I became aware of Longcliffe through helping out at my father’s car body spray shop where he used to paint the company’s small vehicle fleet,” says Ian. “I was a young lad who did not have a vision for the future, but my father rang Longcliffe to see if they had any jobs and, as I lived only five miles away, it was an easy decision to take the apprenticeship here. I haven’t looked back!”

People play a big part in Ian’s life. He credits diversity and the people as the best things about his job and believes “Look after your people and they will look after you."

We look forward to seeing everyone there and wish all exhibitors, competitors and organisers a fantastic day.

Through a partnership with Department of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London, Longcliffe limestone is playing a role in research that could help decarbonise the global cement industry.

We recently supplied our Superlon L150 calcium carbonate to a research team, where it is being used to explore more energy-efficient cement production and new approaches to capturing carbon dioxide.

The team explains:
“The research in Professor Paul Fennell’s group searches along numerous avenues to decarbonise cement production. Amongst these, they have been investigating methods to reduce the energy used during cement production, and also how to capture the residual CO2 which is produced during cement production. In their work, they have been using Longcliffe Limestone as both the main ingredient in an improved cement process, and as a reversible CO2 capture medium.

The research holds out the promise of reducing cement CO2 emissions by up to 50% without carbon capture (whilst still producing the same type of cement used around the world today), or eliminating them completely when CO2 capture is added (and with significantly lower energy costs than other similar CO2 capture processes).”

We are proud to see a Longcliffe product contributing to important research with the potential to support a more sustainable future for cement production.

Supporting traditional skills in the Derbyshire countryside.

We recently supplied 18 tonnes of walling stone to the Derbyshire branch of the Dry Stone Walling Association for its annual competition at the Nightingale Centre in Great Hucklow.
The stone was used to rebuild a field boundary wall as competitors, ranging from amateurs to experienced professionals, demonstrated the craftsmanship and precision involved in dry stone walling.

The event formed part of the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain Grand Prix series and attracted entrants from across the region. Alongside the stone donation, we also contributed prize funding to help recognise the achievements of the competition winners.

Dry stone walls are an important part of the Peak District landscape, and it is encouraging to see traditional skills being passed on and celebrated through events like this.

Not every prom arrival comes with 500 horsepower.

When it was time for his son's school prom, Night Driver Supervisor Dan Duchnowski swapped the usual family car for one of our HGVs, giving Igi a memorable journey to the big event at Shottle Hall.

It's a great photo and a reminder that behind every vehicle in our fleet is a team of people with lives, families and special moments away from work.

We hope Igi had a fantastic evening and wish him all the best for the future.
