In what appears like a game of musical chairs, it’s all change again at the top of Aggregate Industries.
Readers may remember that in July last year AI appointed Mike Pearce as managing director of its Aggregates division, only to see him move on to Breedon two months later. In October we posted "Goodness. Another AI director jumps ship".
Yesterday AI announced the appointment of Pablo Libreros as Mike Pearce’s replacement.
Mr Libreros joined AI last June from LafargeHolcim, as the company’s Director of Growth and Innovation, saying:
I'm looking forward to driving the business forward into a new chapter of growth and innovation in the UK.
Six months on, that new chapter is already over and Mr Libreros has now been charged with looking after the Aggregates division, the company’s PR machine claiming his experience:
...will be invaluable in ensuring that sustainability is at the core of the aggregates business and its processes.
If AI’s unsustainable 2.5 million mile plan for Straitgate Farm is any guide to the rest of the aggregates business, that’s a big ask.
