past to present 1 Lagan prides itself on the significant degree of self-sufficiency within its operations. Peter Lagan Peter Lagan, father of Kevin, the present owner of the Lagan Group of Companies, opened his first quarry at White Mountain on the outskirts of Belfast in 1960 and Lagan has been a name synonymous in the quarrying and construction industries of Ireland ever since. Lagan still remains in private ownership and the workforce employed in the various and diverse operating companies is supported by a substantial ongoing reinvestment in modern plant, equipment and stone reserves. While individual companies may call on the combined financial and technical resources as well as the expertise and synergistic support of each other, they are free to pursue a policy of independent operation. Indeed, Lagan prides itself on the selfsufficiency of its operations. Such autonomy ensures that Lagan companies remain responsive to local market needs whilst allowing staff to build excellent relationships with customers.
