It is the firm’s first external acquisition after almost 50 years of consistent organic growth, taking its total number of concrete plants from two to six.
New facilities at Tunbridge Wells, Sittingbourne, Margate and Dover join existing group operations at Maidstone and Ashford to give full coverage across Kent.

Sean Connor, Managing Director of Gallagher Aggregates, said: “For some years, our ready-mix concrete customers have been asking us to spread our net wider.
“These new acquisitions let us to do just that. We’re more than doubling our concrete production capacity.
“We’re investing significant sums in upgrading these sites, as well as adding to our mixer fleet and taking on additional staff.”

"Women architects are underrepresented in general and especially in leadership positions"
Gender equality is at the forefront of this week's comments update, following an Instagram post by BIG founder Bjarke Ingels that opened up a debate around the hiring balance within architecture.
BIG Issue: Sheela Maini Søgaard, the only female amongst 12 partners at BIG, defended diversity at the firm after Ingels posted an image of his colleagues on Instagram that drew attention to the gender imbalance.
Zeta wasn't surprised by the situation: "Women architects are underrepresented in general and especially in leadership positions in just about all firms! Not to mention grossly underpaid."
"What does gender or race have to do with it? It's a company, not a charity" pointed out Jack En Poi.
Yethica clearly felt let down: "I was ready to defend BIG on this but the ONLY female partner isn't actually even an architect? I'm disappointed."
Archi-Nerd articulated the root of the issue: "The people who are already in power have to be the ones who recognise the problem and sincerely want the change, otherwise we'll have photos like this one for a long time."
One reader felt the company's issues had been hiding in plain sight:

Opposing Obama: In another gender debate, some readers quizzed the American Institute of Architects' decision to appoint Michelle Obama as a keynote speaker for its 2017 National Convention in Orlando, following protests earlier in the year over the lack of female representation in the line-up.
"April Fools, right?" asked a hopeful Concerned Citizen.
H-J wondered if there was political point-scoring behind the appointment: "It's like the AIA is overcompensating for their initial pledge to work with President Trump."
Geofbob, felt it was a justified decision: "Hasn't Michelle Obama's experience as First Lady, together with her own work for minorities in Chicago and elsewhere, given her insights into inner city development and housing issues?"
Meanwhile, this commenter managed to find a small positive in the story:

Dry humour: Designer James Dyson's optimism about post-Brexit business prospects outside of Europe was met with a humorous opposing sentiment from readers.
Ralph Kent found the situation to be hypocritical: "Not keen on EU citizens being able to work in the UK, whilst exporting his manufacturing business to cheap assembly workers in Malaysia."
"When I use one of those Airblade hand dryers I'm always 'enormously optimistic' that 'dry means dry'," joked Ray Thomson.
One guest commenter agreed with the designer, but couldn't resist the opportunity for a pun: "I'm no fan of Dyson but he's absolutely right about our future outside the restraints of the EU."
This reader was not impressed with Dyson at all:

Not converted: Smartvoll's overhaul of an old Salzburg tank station into a loft apartment, including the addition of a sculptural concrete staircase, seemed to divide opinion.
"This is actually one of the strangest homes I have seen on this site," stated Leo.
Some readers, like gh, felt the design was too clinical: "That looks more like a kitchen showroom mixed with a bobo co-working space than a house."
The style of the renovation reminded Kevin Adkisson of a certain 20th-century Finnish-American architect: "Eero? Is that you?"
Another reader felt the home was fit for Superman:
