Earlier this month we were delighted to welcome the Rt Hon Kemi Badenoch MP, UK Leader of the Opposition, to our UK Rugby Cement Plant.

Hosted by members of our UK leadership team plus Martin Casey from the MPA, the visit provided an invaluable opportunity to showcase our operations and discuss the significant and urgent challenges facing the sector, from rising energy costs to increased imports and declining demand for construction materials due to the drop in infrastructure projects and market uncertainty.

As a business, we value open and honest dialogue with elected representatives and policymakers to ensure the importance of supporting the UK construction industry, and the vital infrastructure it builds, is well understood.
