This week in Southampton, Lex Russell, MD UK Materials and Michel Andre, VP Materials West Europe, were proud to present the Marine team with two very significant achievement awards.

In the Global Awards earlier this year, the UK’s Marine business won Best Performance in Aggregates in the sector awards, an achievement the team were extremely proud of.

Due to this significant global success the UK Health & Safety Committee agreed that the Safety Sword should be presented to the team in UK Marine. The Safety Sword, awarded each year to the operations, judged to have the best Health and Safety standards across the UK. It was first presented back in the 1960’s, underlining the long history of prioritising Health and Safety across our business.

Many members of the Marine team attended the presentation ceremony with Lex and Michel.

Kurt Cowdery, UK Marine, said: “Congratulations to everyone who has contributed to these two significant achievements, I’m very proud of these awards. Thank you for continuing to look after yourselves and each other.”
