Last week Rugby Cement plant welcomed around 95 members of the general public to site as part of a two-day Heritage Open Day event. This is an annual, national initiative to open various sites of historic interest across the country for members of the public to visit.

Visitors enjoyed a tour of the Cement plant, alongside audio visual presentations on the history and development of Cement making on the site. They also had the opportunity to travel to the top of the 120 metre high preheater tower and enjoy stunning views across the Warwickshire countryside.

Chiedza Mupfumira, Social Impact Specialist for Cemex UK, said: “We’re proud to open our doors during Heritage Open Days and give the public a unique glimpse into our Cement plant’s history and operations. It’s a chance to showcase the vital role we’ve played in building local infrastructure and to connect with the community by sharing our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and preserving industrial heritage. We enjoy seeing how fascinated visitors are with the plant’s behind-the-scenes work, and it reinforces the value of what we do every day.”
