In late March our Cemex commitment to supporting our local communities through volunteering was once again on full display, as a team from Halkyn quarry joined the community for a clean-up operation on Halkyn Mountain.

With 25 volunteers in total, including colleagues from our Transport and Operations departments, the event was a testament to our collective dedication to environmental care and community involvement.

Organised by a local person, Mavis Midgley, along with a local councillor, Simon Jones, lending his support, the day was a great success. From Cemex Vicky Harrison, Mel Williams, Alex Brown, Kevin Roberts, Kate Herd, and Nigel Roberts gave their time and effort to make a noticeable difference.

With equipment provided by Keep Wales Tidy and the collected litter subsequently removed by Street Scene, the event was well-supported ensuring that their efforts have a lasting impact on the mountain’s natural beauty.

Vicky Harrison, Assistant Quarry Manager at Halkyn quarry, commented: “A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated. It’s through initiatives like ‘Lend a Hand’ that we can continue to make a positive impact, both in our local environment and in the communities we serve.”

Cemex UK has a strong legacy of helping the community through our Lend a Hand programme.

Volunteering is part of Cemex’s commitment to sustainable development, and all employees are encouraged to actively engage in activities that contribute to improving the quality of life and well-being in cities and communities where we live and operate.

If you are interested in taking your team for a Lend a Hand activity this year, please contact Chiedza Mupfumira, Social Impact Specialist, to discuss opportunities in your local area.
