Absolutely brilliant from Tarmac employees, really nice guys, and a fantastic piece of historical archive being made once again PJ, well done my friend!. Excellent use of the drone just wow..10/10
A retired hgv trainer doing "youtube audits" in his new found spare time is now rivaling "How it's Made" ... brilliant !!! Enjoy watching all your stuff !
Yes once owned by Anglo American to then merge with Lafarge. Commissioners said the company was too big to merge so they each had to sell assets off. They planned to bring the assets together which were surplus and sell them as one, which they did and thats what formed ‘Hope Construction’ which was later to be bought out by ‘Breedon aggregates’. They unfortunately ended up being one of Tarmacs major competitors. I was manager in the North east with multiple Quarries and left in 2019, unfortunately they have had a big run of redundancies recently and a good few of my ex colleagues have now left. CRH later bought lafargetarmac and kept the tarmac name and took the lafarge blue circle Logo as seen on their PPE.
@@Travelnortherners Thanks for that info Andy. Worked in Scottish Tarmac plants in the past. Very safety aware, and well run. Guys I worked with were spot on.
WOW PJ! What a fantastic video. The presentation was excellent and the Guys from Tarmac were spot on. It's a shame other companies don't have the same attitude as them. I didn't have a clue how concrete bricks are made but I do now. Thank you for all the effort you put into making this video.
Cheers PJ for an awesome tour and massive credit to Tarmac and great staff for allowing such an educational insight into the manufacture of Breeze blocks which many have around the structure of their homes. If only all companies were like Tarmac. It's a 10/10 from me!
Bingo! A real video, really informative, real health and safety, and right friendly folk. Big up to PJ, Tarmac and it’s staff. That’s the way to do it. 🙏👋🏻❤️
Facsinating! I work as a building surveyor and it's great to see how these products are made. And thanks Tarmac, good to see you're moving forward with the environment in mind.
Isn’t this how good companies should be towards the public, especially those that show interest towards the company. The 2 managers are diamond geezers who not only showed you around but took their time to explain all the things that they do and how they do it. To take time going through the health and safety with you for your safety shows a mark of a caring company. If all companies took their time to, not necessarily take you around the site, explain the company as to what it does then the difference is there for all to see.I congratulate them for taking their time to show us, the public, on how they operate. I also congratulate your good self on this vid PJ. So very very informative.
It truly was a brilliantly put together video in a very informative way that was easy to understand. Keep them up. It certainly puts those companies to Shane on how they tell you it’s private and tell you nothing.
Wow absolutely awesome video, thank you PJ and especially a big thank you to Tarmac on agreeing to let you do the video, what a fantastic company, that has opened my eyes and I enjoyed every second watching. I live a few miles away from this company and never realised exactly what they do and the process involved. Absolutely Fantastic.
How brilliant of Tarmac to take the time out to show PJ how the company operates in what was a genuinely interesting vlog. It’s a shame all the companies PJ visits don’t take the same opportunity to show there company in such a positive light….
@@PJAudits Really enjoy what your doing PJ… You did pay a visit to one of my old employers Peak Oil in Chesterfield. I could have warned you in advance that there a bunch of miserable bastards 😂👍
First of all I'd like to say a massive THANK YOU! to Tarmac for giving us an insight has to what goes on in the production of as I see it just simple blocks, I never knew so much goes into the production of them! And a great big Thank You also to PJ for getting your foot in the door so to speak and bringing us this marvelous video, Cheers all round guys, very much appreciated ;-) p.s. very nice touch with the area for your fallen hero Nigel RIP.. Respect ;-)
All of the companies that you’ve visited that were rude and obnoxious should sit down and watch this. Excellent, enlightening video PJ, well done. Full marks to those at Tarmac who made it possible. Great staff who have pride in their roles within a great company.
A look at life - Tarmac Brick works - a look at life 2021! Wonderful video PJ and I love your genuine auditing of working life and UK industry. Thank you and Tarmac. I share your fascination and interest in working life and industrial /civil engineering and really grateful in these transient times someone is recording our present.
I used to think Tarmac was just a company that supplied Tarmac for the roads..Great insight to the company. Good of the management to invite you to see the works..bodes well for the companies reputation
Amazing video, many thanks for the education too. I thought it was going to be about the Black stuff they put on roads and was pleasantly surprised. Kudos to the team there for showing you around.
A brilliant interesting video and it just shows all these jobsworths who get nasty and say" You can, t video here. How you can highlight your business and product. Well done PJ.
I used to go around the country as a courier and collect the samples at each depot and take them to swadlincote for testing on the different strengths.
Hats off to Tarmac for giving you a tour and taking time out of their day for you. Gives people a view of industry that they wouldn’t normally see as well
Great video PJ, bought back many happy memories when I showed your video to my dad who used to visit here when he was a SAACKE boiler service engineer. Many of times he would return home and I remember him saying about having been to Tarmac Topblock when I was kid... First words he said how lovely he remembered the people were there, something he truly misses as he had to early retire after having a heart attack which he very luckily survived but it ended his 27yrs at SAACKE on the tools. Really looking forward to seeing more videos and great news about you getting more invites👍
What a fantastic tour of tarmac well done guys . Very informative video. Laid a lot of these bricks in my time but now retired now. Once again tarmac thank you for a wonderful tour *****
Big respect to both yourself and Tarmac for this, I often see Tarmac wagons on the road and I’m glad to know they’re a decent and respectable company that care for the community 👍
Amazing. Long live Tarmac employees. I've never seen a non-retaliation concerning Auditors. Well done TARMAC . May you long exist. (I would say that. I subcontracted with them for 18 years).
A good one PJ, bricklayer from 15 and I am 66 now cannot tell you how many of the light weight blocks I have laid, I did enjoy the video well done tarmac and yourself
what a brilliant professional video, never thought i would enjoy it so much ,thank you to Tarmac for there great showing of this, fantastic video well done all
What a brilliant insight into Tarmac, i really did believe the pattern on the side of the blocks was for the plasterer, well done PJ and a massive thumbs up to Tarmac.
Really enjoyed this video PJ, reminded me of when Fred Dibna used to go to engineering firms. You need to get a contract with the BBC and have your own series:-)
Brilliant audit , really learnt a lot. Tarmac came across as a top company. Hearing someone who knows what’s what is interesting. If possible I would watch more vids of this nature. Thank you.
Absolutely brilliant . Its amazing how a good interaction with a company can bring things like this about . Hats off to them for showing you around so you can show us . Looking at this and how happy the workforce is and how safe this production facility runs to me is a benchmark for other employers . Great work and thank you for showing us all . Stay safe .😎 And a big thank you to Tarmac .
I worked for Tarmac construction building a raod tunnel under the Suez Canal, the tunnel lining was precast cast concrete segments each weighing 7 tons. These were cast on site. We lived in an army style camp, beer was delivered by tipper truck and cost 20P a bottle. Most construction companies help out local groups, maybe some concrete or other materials. A JCB for a day or so, the loan of a bus, take away some rubbish. On a road project we involved a school with design plans, surveying the school yard, site visits and the opening of the new road party.
I worked on a tarmac plant in the 90s you used to push the cake through the cutting wires by a hand held frame on the back, most work done by about six men plus the traverser was operated by one person riding on it, all bloody hard work
Cracking stuff all round. This is the way for companies to treat people like PJ; put simply, in a positive manner Shows all the miserable bastards up beyond belief in the companies where arrogance and aggression etc was shown 👍👍👍👍👍👍
What a superb production , I really enjoy films like this as they are very informative. Hats off to you Peter you certainly know your stuff and full credit to Tarmac if only other companies welcomed you with open arms . Have you another other videos where you are doing factory tours
Respect to Tarmac for agreeing to a tour and leading the way for other companies to fellow suit, thanks for sharing PJ keep up the good work bro!!

Thanks, I don't know about it being that good, but I'm very pleased with how it turned out 😊😊
I think the majority of videos of PJs ,would be great for those ready to leave school to see what's on offer.Do they take apprenticeships on ?
Totally agree
10 out of 10, fair play to all those involved 👍
