History
The Company was founded by
Staines, Surrey by redeveloping one of its disused quarries as a leisure park when quarrying was complete. The company operated Thorpe Park until 1998, when they sold the park to The Tussauds Group, owner of Alton Towers and nearby Chessington World of Adventures.[2] The company acquired Rugby Group, a leading British cement business, in 2000.[1] In 2005, the company was acquired by Cemex of Mexico.[3]
