About Holcim

We are leaders in supplying innovative, sustainable building solutions to the UK construction industry; building progress for people and planet.

From our foundations in 1858 we’ve helped shape the UK; powering the construction of homes and hospitals, roads and railways, schools and cities alike.

But as our industry enables growth, it must also change. Tackling the very real carbon and climate challenges demands real action. That’s why our mission is to make sustainable construction a reality.

With 4,000 colleagues across 200+ sites, we’re passionate about helping Britain grow and thrive — doing the right thing, doing it together and making a difference. Working hand in hand with our customers and communities to deliver value from foundation to rooftop and build a more sustainable future for all of us.
