Longcliffe is one of the few independently owned industrial mineral processing companies in the UK. We quarry over one million tonnes of limestone (calcium carbonate) and dolomitic limestone each year.
We have a diverse and comprehensive range of products including specialty high purity calcium carbonate grits and powders, limestone and dolomitic aggregates, agricultural limes and liquid floor screeds.
Calcium Carbonate is an extremely versatile mineral used by manufactures of many everyday items such as glass, plasterboard, concrete, carpet backing, shower trays and animal feeds.
Sustainability is not just about being ‘green’. To be truly sustainable, we need to ensure our business is economically, socially and environmentally viable. We are working hard to ensure our operations continue to improve in terms of the impact they have on the local environment and community, at the same time as ensuring we are running a successful business.
We directly employ over 190 people, some of whom have parents, grandparents and great grandparents who also worked for the company. We are proud of the fact that many of our team have celebrated long service; and 91% live within a 20-mile radius of our sites.

New ‘tatami’ mats will soon be installed for the 40 students who attend Ashbourne Kansen Ryu Academy Ju-Jitsu Club, thanks to a sponsorship boost from local company Longcliffe Quarries Ltd. The Club, whose mission for over 20 years has been to ‘build confidence, discipline, fitness and self-defence skills in a safe, respectful and encouraging environment’, has been fund-raising for four years to replace the mats used by children from five years old up to adults. Stepping on to the tatami mat is said to be sacred entry into the martial arts zone. The mats form the focal point for the Japanese Ju-Jitsu training ‘dojo’ or training area.
