Steve Ballard should receive employee of the year. My friend and I were walking at 7.45am up Old Kiln Lane and there were tissues strewn all over the pavement, on the fences and trees and it looked a mess. Steve got out of his vehicle and gathered them all up putting them in the path of his road-sweeper which swept them up. Definitely going above and beyond leaving the landscape beautiful again. Thank you Steve for keeping Bolton clean 😊

Their drivers need to slow down, when travelling from their Waddington fell quarry to Clitheroe, mainly on the inner bypass near Tesco's and Homebase, Ribblesdale School and Ribblesdale Nursery. Way to fast!!!!

Armstrong's are an excellent company with strong values. Daniel is super lovely. He gave us a tour of the yard and the stone shed. They do some incredible stuff with stone from fireplaces to cut stone signs. Take a look on their website at the incredible work they do. You can even get concrete or aggregate from there too!
