Last week members of the UK RRT (Lex Russell, Laurence Dagley, Carl Platt, Dave Hart, Phil Baynes-Clarke and Steph Horn) joined employee representatives to discuss the current position for CEMEX in the UK as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Lex Russell commented: “This is an unprecedented situation that we find ourselves in and we understand our employees are concerned about the impact it is having on themselves and their families. We were therefore grateful to have the opportunity to talk through the situation with employee representatives and discuss the steps we believe we will need to take over the coming days and weeks.

We would like to thank all the representatives and our employees for their support and ongoing commitment to the business. We hope that the forum helped to reassure attendees that we are working hard to support the needs of society, the UK economy, our customers and most importantly looking after our people during the pandemic. We will ensure our employees are kept up to date with all developments as the situation progresses.”
