Recently, Cemex’s Dan Mann, Public Affairs Analyst, joined the West Midlands Industrial Energy Taskforce, Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and Andy Street, Mayor of the West Midlands, to discuss on-going energy cost crisis for business with fellow members of the UK manufacturing sector, along with energy suppliers.

Energy costs are of paramount importance to our business, and representing our interests in the region is integral to us due to our status as an Energy Intensive Industry user. With the volatility of energy markets, understanding the needs and priorities of the region is important for our forward planning, and how best we can work with political leaders to deliver solutions that deliver the best outcomes for all users.

We are pleased that the Mayor is taking such a hands-on approach to this and for his leadership on the issues that make a difference to businesses across the region. At the end of May we will be hosting a visit from the Mayor at our Rugby Cement plant.
