Readymix considers assets sell-off

READYMIX is considering the sale of certain non-core assets in the wake of the economic and property market downturns eating into product demand and financial results in the first half of the year.

The Dublin-headquartered cement products and building materials company – which is mostly owned by international group, Cemex – yesterday reported a pre-tax loss of €6.9 million for the first six months of this year.

However, that interim loss has narrowed from the same time last year when the loss was just over €9.6m.
