AG pledges to help the construction industry bounce-back

The family owned business which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year has said it currently has healthy levels of its facing brick, walling and paving products available for despatch throughout the UK and Ireland.

CEO, Stephen Acheson also confirmed the business had made arrangements to accommodate pre-arranged product collections and deliveries (Trade only) from its Fivemiletown, Toome, Dungannon, Carryduff, and Ballygawley production plants.

“To organise a collection or delivery customers must contact us in advance on 028 8778 4208 or [email protected] (Ireland customers) and 01217470202 or [email protected] (GB customers).

“Given the ongoing concerns around the containment of the virus we would ask that no one arrives at any of our locations without having first made an arrangement to do so.”

The AG CEO added that the business was also poised to recommence manufacturing.

“We briefed all staff this morning that our executive team is currently finalising plans for a phased recommencement of manufacturing – with strict hygiene and social distancing rules in place.

“This all about little, solid, sensible steps, but we are determined to play our part to get our economy moving again.”
