The first cement delivery to the Hawkes Bay arrived just a day after Cyclone Gabrielle caused havoc in the Hawkes Bay.

With the Napier-Taupo road closed, our dedicated transport team had to detour around to Palmerston North to ensure concrete can be made in the Bay. This required a 1109km and 18 hour round trip and an overnight stay in the Manawatu for the drivers.

The Bridgeman Concrete team in Hastings welcomed the delivery which will ensure the rebuild can start as soon as possible.
