Dudman sells UK cement trading business

The privately-owned Dudman is withdrawing from cement trading and has sold its four English cement terminals, in Sussex, Suffolk, Yorkshire and Merseyside and its one terminal at Montrose in Scotland to CRH. 

This will take the number of Irish multinational's British marine terminals to seven, all of which will be supplied from either Ireland or from the Cementos Lemona works in Spain. 

Dudman is keeping its five ready-mixed concrete batching plants in Sussex and Hampshire as well as all its other non-cement interests.
