Welcome to the British Aggregates Association

The Effective Association for Independent Quarry Operators

The British Aggregates Association is run by people who are highly experienced in all aspects of the minerals industry. The association provides essential support to the independent sector and makes sure that their voice is heard at all levels of the UK and EU administrations.

In addition to the benefits provided by a highly focussed trade association, BAA members are able to meet industry decision makers and regulating authorities at a number of well structured meetings throughout the year. This provides a wide pool of informed knowledge and opportunities for networking.

The UK Quarry Industry

The UK Quarry Industry is one of the oldest in the country and an integral part of our industrial heritage. We extract 250 million tons of material each year to provide the needs of society - building houses, roads, hospitals and schools.

The industry provides employment for around 40,000 people, mainly in rural communities, and contributes around £3bn in primary products to the GDP.
