Our UK Corporate Affairs team has been representing Cemex at two recent events focused on economic growth – one regional and one national.

Earlier this month, members of the team attended the Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Business & Economic Conference in Southam.

Bringing together regional business leaders, the conference explored opportunities to unlock growth in Coventry and Warwickshire, including through job creation, leveraging AI, infrastructure development, and investing in key businesses, sectors and institutions.

Dan Mann, Corporate Affairs Manager at Cemex UK, commented: “As a longstanding and key employer in the region, it was great to join other businesses to look at how we can build on Coventry and Warwickshire’s strengths and potential and create the right conditions for future growth. There’s a lot of ambition for the region, and we’re proud to be playing a part in its continued success!”

Dan also attended the Westminster launch of a new Logistics UK report, joining parliamentarians, policymakers and industry representatives to discuss the role logistics plays in UK economic growth.

The report, UK Logistics: A Critical Driver of Growth and Investment, produced by Capital Economics, examines the sector’s contribution to supply chains, employment, tax revenue and foreign direct investment.

As a business that relies on road, rail and marine logistics to deliver construction materials across the UK, Cemex has a clear interest in policies that improve freight connectivity and support infrastructure investment.

Speaking after the launch, Dan said: “The report highlights something we see every day at Cemex, that logistics is fundamental to keeping the UK economy moving. It was valuable to hear the perspectives of policymakers and industry colleagues on how we can continue to strengthen the UK’s competitiveness and support growth.”
