Building (and Ploughing) Community Spirit at Halkyn

April 13, 2023
At the weekend a local community came together for a lively ploughing competition, proudly sponsored by Cemex’s Halkyn quarry. The event was a great success with a large turnout of 45 participants across various classes of ploughing and many more spectators enjoying the spectacle.

Among the competitors was Graham Jones, a dedicated employee of Halkyn quarry, who demonstrated exceptional skill and determination. Competing against a field of 11 talented participants, Graham managed to secure an impressive second place, showcasing his impressive ploughing skills.

The competition provided an opportunity for community members to come together and engage in a friendly display of agricultural prowess. With a wide range of ploughing classes, the event was accessible to participants of all skill levels, making it a true celebration of the area's rich agricultural heritage. Emrys Owen from the Ploughing Association expressed his gratitude towards Cemex for sponsoring the event.

Cemex Halkyn quarry was honoured to sponsor the event. Creating positive stakeholder experiences is one of the major goals of our social impact strategy and one of the one ways in which we do this is by responding to requests from the local communities. The company takes pride in the achievements of its employees, both in and out of the workplace, and everyone was thrilled to see Graham excel in the competition.

Graham Jones's success at the ploughing competition is a testament to the spirit of determination and skill that Halkyn quarry values in its workforce. As a company that is dedicated to promoting community engagement and supporting local events, Cemex Halkyn quarry looks forward to continued involvement in similar initiatives in the future.
