STRONG DEMAND FOR CONCRETE FENCING PRODUCTS
With manufacturing sites in Northamptonshire and Surrey, Allen Concrete provide nationwide coverage of their concrete fencing products to stockists and builders merchants.
]Built on the back of exceptional customer service, an extensive product range and comprehensive stockist support the business has seen significant growth in recent years.
Ross Nivison, General Manager for Allen Concrete, said,” Being able to supply our customers quickly with product has been a key factor in our growth. As we approach the main selling period for fencing products, we have worked hard to ensure we have good stocks across our full concrete fencing range.
Our customers want to be able to get hold of products quickly to avoid delays to their jobs and our turnaround times are amongst the best in the industry”.
The company operates its own fleet of lorries and vans which means that they can offer small mixed loads of products as well as providing a fast turnaround.
Hedgehog-friendly gravel boards
Gravel boards are often the unsung hero of a fence, and Allen Concrete offers five different options, including wildlife-friendly gravel boards. Building merchants and trade stockists now find that hedgehog-friendly gravel boards are increasingly in demand, with Housing Associations encouraging developers and builders to continually make improvements with responsible and ethical construction. Developers and builders, keen to differentiate and build their reputation, choose wildlife-friendly gravel boards to create pathways for wildlife, minimising the impact of increased fencing on local wildlife populations, particularly hedgehogs.
Lower carbon concrete fence posts
Allen Concrete is part of SigmaRoc, a major PLC company that has led the way in developing low and ultra-low-carbon solutions for precast products. In 2021, they introduced the UK’s first ultra-low carbon cement-free building block, Greenbloc, for the construction industry. Allen Concrete is keen to play its part, too, and is carrying out extensive trials to produce concrete fence posts and gravel boards which feature a lower carbon footprint.
The company has recently boosted its commercial team to cater to the growing demand for its products with the recruitment of Mark Brock who is well-known to many in the industry. It also produces a stockist guide that includes details on all of its key products that are popular with their customers. If you would like a copy, email sales@allenconcrete.co.uk to request one.
