It was proud day for CEMEX UK Logistics to see the graduation of the 2019/2020 Apprentices who have successfully completed their nationally accredited course and LGV driving qualifications – seen here Pre COVID when they had their onboarding event.

Callum Stone, Alexander Brown, Danny Howes, Harrison Severs, Johnny Beasley, George Mintoft and Mark Woodgate are now qualified to drive our fleet Aggregate tippers and have now moved to full time driver roles at their sites – Dove Holes, Halkyn, Jarrow, Swinderby, Angerstein, Luton and Datchet.

This year saw the graduation taking place remotely online via Zoom – The Apprentices were congratulated on their high pass rates and their successful progression through the scheme.

Since starting in June last year, the group have worked closely with their mentors and buddy drivers – passing on their skills and experience and everyone has had great support from across the business.

Carl Milton, Regional Logistics Manager, added: “A big well done to all the Apprentices and a big thank you to their driver mentors, driver buddy’s, managers and our framework provider, System Training, who have coached and guided them through the course.

The Apprentice Scheme success is down to the great team effort and it’s very rewarding to see the next generation of skilled and safe drivers entering their careers with CEMEX.”

Mannie Bains, HR Business Partner, also commented: “We are proud of the apprenticeship programme in Supply Chain and appreciate all the hard work the local teams put into supporting the Apprentices during their training at CEMEX.  We wish our newly graduated apprentices all the best for their driving career at CEMEX.”
