Merger Update: Hanson/Mick George

Invitation to comment: Closes on 17 August 2023

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is currently reviewing the anticipated acquisition by Hanson Quarry Products Europe Limited of Mick George Limited.

Specifically, the CMA is considering whether it is or may be the case that this transaction, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation under the merger provisions of the Enterprise Act 2002 and, if so, whether the creation of that situation may be expected to result, in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services.

To assist it with this assessment, the CMA invites comments on the transaction from any interested party.

These comments should be provided by the deadline set out above to:
