Aylesford & Chatham MP and DEFRA Minister Jonathan Shaw recently visited the Gallagher Group Head Quarters at Little Preston, Aylesford.  He was met by Chief Executive, Nick Yandle to discuss the company’s current activities and future plans.  Mr Shaw was then taken on a visit to Hermitage Quarry, the largest ragstone producing site in the South East, and was impressed with the reinstatement work that has now come to maturity.  The estate extends over hundreds of acres of grazing land and managed woodland projects, that include public footpaths and trails for horse riding.

Mr Shaw was interested to hear how we work with local Government Departments, train our people and our Work Experience programme.  He is keen that the Government departments work to a co-ordinated agenda and with a partnership approach and was therefore interested to hear how organisations such as The Highways Agency are working with developers.
