Cemex Rail Solutions Washwood Heath took part in a 10 mile sponsored walk on 27 May with proceeds going to the John Taylor Hospice in Birmingham.
A total of £1250 was raised and the money will go towards staff training within the hospice. The money came from colleagues on site and also suppliers and contractors.
Plant Manager, Terry Gillooly, said: “When we first met the people at the John Taylor Hospice they handed us a list of things they needed and I am delighted to see we achieved everything on that list through Lend-A-Hand days, tea dances and finished it off with the money raised from this sponsored walk. Everyone at the Plant should be very proud of the achievements as they have all played a part”.
Holcim and Cemex have announced the completion of their series of transactions in Europe, which includes operations in western Germany, the Czech Republic and Spain.
Cemex matched funds raised by employees as part of an internal campaign two-to-one. The money will be donated to those affected by Typhoon Haiyan, supporting the rebuilding of houses and schools in Northern Cebu.
