This latest contract builds on a four-year contract with Leicester City Council, during which the company delivered major road improvements and maintenance schemes across the city.
The business has previously held the contract for Leicester City Council’s carriageways between 2020 and 2024 and this latest contract will run for a further two years, with an option of two extensions of 12 months each.
Kevin Murgatroyd, managing director for Aggregate Industries’ Contracting division said: 'We’re thrilled to be part of this ongoing project in our hometown of Leicester. Securing this contract is a great win for our team and showcases our proven track record in working for Leicester City Council.'

The company has a strong history of delivering road maintenance schemes in the region, including Leicester.'
