The employees from Finning’s Leeds and Chesterfield branches took part in seminars about the operations of the quarry and were taken on a tour of the workshop.

The visit was part of a new agreement between the companies to promote best working practice, which will see representatives from Tunstead tour a Finning fluid analysis laboratory in Leeds.

Peter Butterworth, Stone Operations Manager at Lafarge Tarmac, said: “Sharing best practice can only benefit both parties in the long term.”
