Quality product, people and service
This is why we stick with Hogan
“We’ve been using Hogan for probably 25 years now, and there are a lot of driveways and roadways we’ve laid with their products that are still there today. If we’re in North Wales, it’s important that we get our asphalt off them.
Over the years, we’ve tried other suppliers as well, and some of their “matching” products – same specification on paper – have not performed as well as Hogan. We’re very happy with Hogan’s mixes, all their asphalt.
Quality you can see in the finish and feel underfoot.
From a testing point of view, a 10mm aggregate tarmac from Hogan and a 10mm aggregate from another company should be identical. They work to a standard, tick all the specification boxes, and it’s all made by computers these days. But when you’re experienced asphalt layers, you know there’s a difference. There’s a different quality to their materials, and that’s one thing with Hogan that’s really impressed us over the 25 or so years. Hogan have their own quarry, so the stone and dust going into the material is of a nicer, better nature.
Service that goes above and beyond, every single time.
Service‑wise, Hogan is always very approachable. We’ll phone, usually direct, and talk to the weighbridge staff. They’re absolutely fantastic – really helpful, above and beyond, and it’s like dealing with a friend. They know the area you’re talking about, and it feels like they’re with you doing the job, not sitting in some call centre with no real interest.
And it’s not just our team who gets treated well. We’ve been treated the same since the day we were taking two tonnes. With Hogan, whether you’re taking a tonne of asphalt every 12 months or 2,000 every month, everybody is treated the same – a customer is a customer. For us, they tick all the boxes.
