More thanks go to our fantastic colleagues nominated for the Thanks For Your Effort award for showing exceptional dedication and going above and beyond their day jobs. They are:
Sarah Murphy, Strategic Communications Manager
David Hart, Supply Chain Director, Supply Chain Logistics, nominated Sarah: “Sarah has been amazing at coordinating the production of a video to describe our UK Aggregates rail operation. This has included pulling together the storyboard of the key messages relating to safety, sustainability and operations and then liaising with the site’s teams to organise the visits, the contractor who carried out the filming and the CEMEX employees who have been involved.
Sarah’s passion and commitment has really shone through allied with her ability to “never be flustered” and maintain calm when circumstances change. Without Sarah’s determination and leadership we would not have been able to produce this video.
The target audience for these sessions are our employees to share with them the scale and complexity of our rail operation but also to generate pride with the efforts to reduce CO emission by maximising rail movements over road. In addition the company will benefit as we will be able to promote how the CEMEX UK Aggregates rail operation is aligned with our Future in Action goals and commitments and our sustainability roadmap.
This has all been possible due to Sarah’s coordination, passion and leadership.”
Alan Venning, Travel and Expense Lead EMEA, Accounting & Controllership
Adam Leverett, Head of Operational Excellence, nominated Alan: “Alan has kindly assisted me and my team with issues relating to some of our systems and service providers. This has included helping solve problems outside of normal working hours, and at a time when Alan and his team have been extremely busy working on the new SAP in the Cloud system. This project is a huge undertaking, but Alan still always finds the time to respond really quickly and offer help and advice every time.
Alan’s interventions and advice have helped us quickly solve several issues, some of which were causing significant amounts of stress to our team members. Without Alan’s expertise we would not have been able to solve the issues. Alan is always happy to help and we really appreciate everything he has done for us lately!”
Emma Howell, Commercial RMS Support, Materials Readymix
Paul Cooke and Darren Hockley, Readymix Freight Manager and HC Team Leader, Readymix UK, and Home Counties nominated Emma – they said: “Emma is always willing to help and most recently during our systems migration period we unfortunately experienced several issues/errors and Emma went above and beyond to help us get through it all, on top of this the GSC have had some changes which turned the new starter setup process upside down and again Emma aided in the background to help us get everything sorted for our new colleges to start work.”
The UK Readymix Shipping Team Leaders, all of whom have commented on Emma’s helpful approach especially throughout the difficult migration period.
