At the end of March Andrew Wilson, Commercial and Logistics Manager UK Marine, will retire from Cemex after 34 years working for RMC then Cemex.
During Andrew’s 34 years he has worked in most businesses as the company has evolved and changed. In August 1988 he joined RMC’s Wickwar Block Works, and Production Supervisor moving into Concrete Products in 1990. Packed Products in 1994 then Building Products in 2022. From 2006 Andrew became a Business Performance Analyst for Cemex’s UK Materials Readymix & Aggregates (South West region), becoming Supply Chain Manager for Aggregates South in 2010, then finally joining UK Marine as Commercial & Logistics Manager in 2013.
Of all his roles Andrew most enjoyed his last 10 years in a commercial role for UK Marine. He particularly enjoyed the customer facing aspect of the role and got a real buzz from developing the business commercially, meeting many new people and creating new relationships, gaining new customers and contributing to Marine’s commercial success.
Andrew and his wife have some exciting plans for their retirement, including a trip to Australia to visit their daughter and her family, spending more time with their parents, a full house renovation and making use of their camper van to go travelling around the UK and further afield.
Andrew would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people who has helped him throughout his career.
Kurt Cowdery, UK Marine shared: “Andrew has been a great asset to our business working in many roles. His support to me has been invaluable. Above all, he is a great guy. I wish him a happy and healthy retirement. Thank you.”
From everyone at Cemex, we would like to wish Andrew all the best in his retirement.
