Seven of the team in Stockton’s Order to Cash department are celebrating 15 years since its inception as the original RMC Shared Service Centre. Ross Catterick, Chris Westwood, Louise Jackson, Sue Pryse, Jackie Routledge, Paula Hook and Caroline Corner were all part of the original team and are still there today. In true Stockton tradition, of course the team had a celebratory cake!
Ross Catterick, Commercial and Logistics Admin Manager, reflected: “There have been many changes over that 15 years – originally the RMC Shared Service Centre; the CEMEX acquisition; becoming Commercial Administration and then the Business Services Organisation (BSO). There have been many projects and initiatives driving the company forward which have developed us all over the years. The teams are dedicated to maximising the cash collection whilst managing the risk to the business despite the financial crisis, global economic downturn and political uncertainties.
It certainly does not seem like 15 years but looking back and reflecting on all the achievements and people I’ve had the pleasure of working with makes me feel really proud.”
Here’s some thoughts from the rest of the team:
Chris Westwood: “I feel privileged to have been part of the SSC at Stockton from the early days and to have been part of its success. I feel we provide a good service to the business and to our customers and will continue to do so.
There have been many changes during my 15 years some of which have been challenging, however, they are always faced with a positive ‘can do’ attitude.”
Louise Jackson: “For the past 15 years I have worked for CEMEX Commercial Admin. I have seen lots of changes over the years, always for the good of the company. I enjoy my job and I am proud to work for CEMEX.”
Sue Pryse: “It is nice to come to work in a comfortable environment where there is good camaraderie, and to have personal growth over the 15 years’ service which has helped extend my knowledge of the business.”
Jackie Routledge: “CEMEX is always evolving and striving to improve the journey to ONECEMEX.”
Paula Hook: “My 15 years at CEMEX has been enjoyable, rewarding and challenging within a friendly working environment.”
