Road Safety School Visit

Cemex’s commitment to protecting vulnerable road users is what drives its programme for Road Safety Engagement in schools. In the past few months more than 200 school children have been engaged in various schools surrounding Cemex sites.

A Cemex team recently visited local Ysgol Rhos Helyg Primary School, local to Halkyn quarry, to give the children an education presentation about road safety. The team took along a Cemex tipper truck to allow the children to sit in the cab and experience a driver’s view!

A big thanks to the Cemex team for the fantastic support on the day. The team included Les Grabarz, Northern Logistics Manager, Victoria Harrison, Assistant Quarry Manager – Halkyn quarry, and the Logistics team, Eddie Broster, Mel Williams, Gerald Frobisher and Angharad Williams, who all supported on the day.

The team shared our Vulnerable Road User presentation to the whole school, around 130 pupils from the four years to nine years old, and they we had some great participation from all the age groups.

The headteacher (Gareth Roberts) thanked Cemex for arranging and promoting this event and being a positive member of their community.
