After 25 years of valuable service to the Hills Group of Companies, Pete Andrew has decided to step down from his role as Group Director – Quarry Products at the end of 2024. Pete will remain engaged with the business after his retirement in an advisory capacity through 2025.

In the meantime, Hills Quarry Products will be actively recruiting a replacement for Pete and aim to ensure a suitable handover to his replacement and existing colleagues over the next eight months.

Mike Hill, Chief Executive of The Hills Group commented: “This is a significant move for both Pete and The Hills Group. The shareholders, board and employees at Hills wish Pete a well-deserved retirement spending time with family and managing his farm in Wiltshire.

“Pete has been a key figure within the business and the quarrying sector for many years and will be missed by colleagues, customers, and the supply chain alike.”

Reflecting on his announcement, Pete Andrew said: “It has been an honour and a privilege working with such a talented and dedicated team within Hills Quarry Products. With the business in a healthy position and the team as strong as it has ever been, now feels like the right time to step aside. I would like to extend my thanks for all the warm wishes I’ve received from colleagues and friends in the industry.”
