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.

In a jam-packed day covering most aspects of its calcium carbonates business, Longcliffe Quarries Ltd has hosted an inspiring careers visit by students from Anthony Gell School in Wirksworth. The visit to Longcliffe was one of the four options given to Year 9 students as part of their Key Stage 3 Careers Week. The visits aim to give students an insight into potential future careers and develop their understanding of the world of work. Whilst Longcliffe’s business is focussed on quarrying and processing a range of limestone products for use in applications from animal feeds to construction, the students were shown the wide range of jobs involved.
