CEO, Stephen Acheson said: “The past year has seen us achieve record-breaking sales in both the domestic and commercial sectors amidst some challenging sector conditions - which is testament to the resilience and outstanding work of our team”.
The third-generation business has also created several new jobs in response to the heightened demand across the domestic and commercial sectors, including James Jack who has been promoted to GB Sales Director. This is a brand-new role for the company as AG looks to grow sales throughout the region.
Acheson said that the company expects demand to continue to grow in the coming months.

“We have greater stock levels of some of our most popular products which can be easily called off at short notice and lead times on some made to order items is as little as four weeks, which will be satisfying news to our customers.”
This month AG held its annual Sales Conference where the company set out their ambition to achieve a 32% sales increase in 2024 - with the firm already reporting a 20% increase in sales.
AG – which has built a solid reputation for innovation – recently launched Crescent, an entry-level flagstone made with 100% locally-sourced aggregates and engineered with AG’s renowned premium quality.
