In December, the Cemex UK Public Affairs team were delighted to welcome MP for Jarrow, Kate Osborne, and Labour Candidate for the Mayor of the North East, Kim McGuinness to our Jarrow Wharf for a tour of our operations, and for a discussion about the vital role that the site plays in construction and building sector in the region.

Kim McGuinness commented about how it was “great to hear about Cemex’s progress in making their business and supply chain Net Zero, their work with North East organisations and the investment they are making in the North East in Jarrow, Peterlee and Durham too”, and Kate Osborne had echoed this saying how it was, “really interesting to visit Cemex Aggregates in Jarrow today alongside Kim McGuinness to hear more about Cemex’s plans for net-zero whilst investing in the North East”, and that it was “brilliant to see investment put into our communities”.

We look forward to working with Kim and Kate closely going forward and are grateful for their support in delivering the shared goals that we need for the continued success of our site, Jarrow, and for the region.
