The UK Government’s Freight Council has welcomed Dave Hart, Cemex’s UK Supply Chain Director, to provide essential industry insights and address challenges in the multimodal freight and logistics sectors. This appointment highlights Cemex’s position as a foundational industry that helps to underpin the UK Government’s growth agenda across house building, construction and infrastructure.

Dave Hart emphasised Cemex’s unique position in the freight sector: “Cemex occupies a particularly unique position within the freight sector utilising road, rail, river and sea to transport essential building and construction materials that support housebuilding, commercial developments, renewable energy and other essential infrastructure projects across the UK.

As well as manufacturing significant volumes of precast concrete rail sleepers on which the UK’s national rail network lays its track, Cemex also then utilises this rail network to transport its materials and products to its customers – acting as both supplier and end-user.”

The Freight Council, a collaboration between government, business, and trade associations, aims to optimise the freight sector’s contribution to the national freight network, net zero goals, planning, skill development, and technological advancements.
