Precast Concrete Firm Rewarded As Business Master
April 2012

A Shropshire precast concrete company’s innovation excellence has been recognised after it was shortlisted for the final stages of a prestigious regional business competition.

Telford-based Elite Precast Concrete has been named as one of three finalists in the Innovator category at the inaugural West Midlands Business Masters Awards, a new event aimed at rewarding and recognising the brightest entrepreneurial talents across the region.

The firm, which employs a team of 40 that manufactures and supplies a range of interlocking precast concrete blocks for clients spanning sectors such as waste management and recycling, construction, outdoor hospitality, healthcare, and local authority, will now pit its wits against two other shortlisted entries ahead of the awards ceremony at Birmingham Town Hall on 10th May.

Judges including Richard Butler, Regional Director for the CBI in the West Midlands, and Dr David Hardman, CEO of the Birmingham Science Park Aston, praised Elite Precast Concrete for embracing innovation across its entire operation, from its use of locally-sourced sand created during quarrying as a sustainable element of its concrete mix, to its successful implementation of an online-driven sales model, as opposed to a more traditional ‘on the road’ sales team. The panel also acknowledged the company’s foresight in diversifying into high-growth sectors, such as energy-from-waste, as well as its decision to only manufacture and sell a ‘stock’ product range, rather than produce bespoke ‘made to measure’ alternatives, which helps to keep costs extremely competitive and enable the firm to provide a rapid turnaround for clients.

“It’s a great honour to reach the finals of a prestigious competition such as the West Midlands Business Masters Awards,” Owen Batham, Sales and Marketing Director of Elite Precast Concrete, commented. “Getting to the final three in our category is an achievement in itself, as there are so many outstanding, innovative businesses across the region. That’s not to say we don’t want to win the top prize though, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed the result will go our way at the grand final in Birmingham!”

Founded in 2008 by a team with more than 40 years industry experience, Shropshire-based Elite Precast Concrete Limited is the UK market leader in manufacturing and supplying free standing interlocking concrete blocks. By adopting an innovative and forward-thinking approach, both in its production processes and sales and marketing strategy, the company’s precast concrete products are now used by a wide range of UK and international clients including local authorities, recycling businesses, and waste management firms, to build durable waste storage bays. The blocks are also heavily used in industries such as outdoor hospitality, transport, and construction, where they are utilised as kentledge – a form of temporary counterweight – to hold scaffolding, security fencing, and marquees in place.

Council Calls On Concrete Firm For Speedy Solution
March 2012

A Shropshire precast concrete company has helped one local authority replace its waste storage bays in just a week after a move to an innovative new system.

Oadby and Wigston Borough Council in Leicestershire has called upon the services of Telford-based Elite Precast Concrete to help replace and upgrade its waste segregation and storage units at its recycling depot in Oadby.

The council has used 250 of Elite Precast Concrete’s V interlocking blocks, which link together along the base, sides, and top to form a particularly stable structure, to create two storage bays measuring 6 metres wide by 20 metres deep that are being used to segregate recycling before it is processed.

“The council’s previous storage bays consisted of A-shaped precast concrete blocks, which – even though they did the job to an adequate standard – were neither large nor durable enough to provide optimum performance in such a harsh environment, especially as the council has plans to extend its waste management site in the not too distant future,” Owen Batham, Sales and Marketing Director of Elite Precast Concrete, explained.

Karen Parkes, Acting Waste Management Officer at Oadby and Wigston Borough Council, oversaw the entire project, from the initial enquiry through to final installation, in just three weeks. She commented: “The V blocks can be stacked higher to give us additional storage capacity, and because of the interlocking aspect, offer an extremely robust and sturdy solution.

“As the blocks are incredibly simple to slot together using only a forklift, we were able to carry out the entire installation in under a week, eliminating the need for us to bring in external contractors at additional cost. And of course, they can also easily be reconfigured to create storage spaces of various sizes, depending on the dimensions we require.”

The local authority, which currently processes approximately 3,000 tonnes of recycling at the site annually, is aiming to expand its waste management and recycling facilities over the coming months, and will again be calling on Elite Precast Concrete’s V interlocking blocks to provide easily installable storage bays.

Founded in 2008 by a team with more than 40 years industry experience, Shropshire-based Elite Precast Concrete Limited is the UK market leader in manufacturing and supplying interlocking and ‘V’ interlocking precast concrete blocks. By adopting an innovative and forward-thinking approach, both in its production processes and sales and marketing strategy, the company’s precast concrete products are now used by a wide range of UK and international clients including local authorities, recycling businesses, and waste management firms, to build durable waste storage bays. The blocks are also heavily used in industries such as outdoor hospitality, transport, and construction, where they are utilised as kentledge – a form of temporary counterweight – to hold scaffolding, security fencing, and marquees in place.
