Operations
The head office is based in Castle Hill at Maidenhead in Berkshire and the works are located in Ketton in Rutland, Buckley in Wales, Ribblesdale near Clitheroe and Avonmouth near Bristol.
At Avonmouth the company has a marine terminal, that is used as a site for the importation of cement in bulk, with samples from there tested at the Ketton site's laboratory each week to ensure they meet British Standards.
Cement is also imported through the Humber ports.
Hanson Cement holds an open day at the Ketton production facility each year in July.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Plot, rules, nor even poetry, are not half so great beauties in tragedy or comedy as a just imitation of nature, of character, of the passions and their operations in diversified situations.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“There is a patent office at the seat of government of the universe, whose managers are as much interested in the dispersion of seeds as anybody at Washington can be, and their operations are infinitely more extensive and regular.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
