More thanks go to our fantastic colleagues nominated for the January 2024 Thanks For Your Effort award for showing exceptional dedication and going above and beyond their day jobs. They are:
Tina Baxter, Communications Adviser, nominated for Ensuring Safety, Focusing on Customers, Acting with Integrity, Working as One Cemex.
Tina works relentlessly to pull together all the information that goes into our UK News update for the business on a weekly basis. Throughout the past 12 months this has seen Tina work with almost every area of our business on a collaborative basis to ensure that their stories are shared and that our colleagues are given a voice to talk about what is important to them. Tina will draft and edit high volumes of content as well as creating bespoke images utilising all of the key elements of our brand and our sub-brands/identities such as WE’X, Zero4Life and Step In, Future in Action and Cemex Go to name just a few to ensure that each story is engaging, colourful and on-brand.
The stories, updates and key programmes across our priority areas are given the focus that they deserve to ensure that everyone across our UK business understands why we do what we do from WE’X to Future in Action, Zero4Life to Customer Centricity and areas such as Cemex Go – colleagues from across our business are familiar with these topics and what they mean and Tina plays a large part in helping to drive this understanding through the focus she places on each.
Kevin Lawrence, IT Support, nominated for Acting with Integrity, Working as One Cemex.
Kevin has been extremely helpful with some laptop issues Adam Leverett, (the nominator) had been having lately, which has eventually resulted in a laptop rebuild after a great deal of troubleshooting from Kevin. He jumped on the problem and worked so quickly to get it resolved for Adam, which he really appreciated. Ada, said: “I was expecting to be without a laptop for hours (or days!) but I was actually able to continue working the entire time, and the whole experience of switching to a new laptop was completely pain-free!”
Christian Vale, Ready Mix General Manager, and the Aston Readymix team, nominated for Fostering Innovation, Working As One Cemex.
Over the last 12 months Supply Chain have been working on a reduced CO2 bulk powder discharge system. Since receiving the first of several static based systems, Christian and his team have supported the install of the equipment at the Aston Readymix location – supporting the adoption of the equipment, installation and helping with the health and safety aspects of installing a new conceptual idea.
The whole team has benefited from this project. The idea is designed to support the Cemex reduction of CO2 by 2030 and this is the first of a number of these installations across the UK.
Excellent example of working as one Cemex and innovation and development. The project has been presented to our area president and is soon to be presented to our CEO so to have such support has been great and all in all the first step to reducing CO2 output on the supply chain own fleet.
