More thanks go to our fantastic colleagues nominated for the Thanks For Your Effort award for showing exceptional dedication and going above and beyond their day jobs. They are:
Hugh Reynolds, Supply Chain Compliance Officer, Supply Chain
Hugh has once again this year successfully managed and completed our FORS Silver and Gold renewal submissions for Supply Chain. This year we were faced with an additional complication that due to COVID we were unable to carry out the Back to Work training for Safe Urban Driving which is a compulsory element for the accreditation. Hugh engaged with the FORS Management team and agreed a compromise and then coordinated with the ALMs to carry out an e-learning module with the entire driver workforce. This in itself was a significant effort and added a large amount of work to an already labour-intensive submission.
A big thanks to Hugh for his personal safety leadership.
Jordan Sutton-Briggs and Martin Simons, Sales Executives, Materials Readymix/Northwest
In the Northwest the Readymix Commercial team have been two Sales Executives down since the start of the year, but significantly in March. This was a challenging month with a high volume budget to achieve as well maintaining commercial strategy, along with the Commercial Manager going off work for three weeks, and also the added pressure of three new starters in the team.
Jordan and Martin worked tirelessly to maximise customer satisfaction and overcome supply chain challenges; working from dusk till dawn and out of hours to help ease the problems. They found themselves having relentless high level customer demands, however, they went above and beyond supporting the business and the General Manager to ensure they met their business objectives under extreme pressure.
As part of their commitment locally to deliver a superior customer experience everywhere, every time, and responding to feedback from customer each day, they maintained a service promise for all customers. Also, by offering a complete service solution if issues arose and working close with the Preston Brook Shipping team with high level comms, they showed excellent collaboration skills between CEMEX departments whilst demonstrating adaptability to work close with our customers at the ‘sharp end’.
Well done Jordon and Martin.
Dann King, National Support Systems Specialist, Supply Chain
Dann ensured intregration from SAP CRP to SRP was completed smoothly throughout the night at Rugby Cement plant. He supported teams with the change in systems, setting up profiles, variants, reports for users – above and beyond what is required in his daily role.
Tickets raised throughout the night affected by the SAP changeover were still able to be recorded. Users were able to have a smooth transition with help of Dann’s guidance.
Well done Dann.
Dan Bateman, Strategic Haulage Manager, Supply Chain
Dan’s personal passion for safety leadership has been exhibited through his coordination of the 2022 Haulier Health & Safety Virtual Leadership sessions. In total five separate sessions were held engaging with over 100 hauliers who move products on our behalf. The sessions covered Health & Safety performance, Mental Health, Global Vehicle Safety Features and an insight into the Zero4Life training we are delivering to our employees. There was excellent interaction and discussion amongst the attendees on all the topics. The sessions were well received by the hauliers.
These sessions take an awful lot of planning and coordinating and Dan took the lead in preparing the material and organising the events ensuring everyone was kept informed of their roles and responsibilities.
A big thanks to Dan for his personal safety leadership.
