Road Safety at Hornsea

Cemex were delighted to step in by providing a truck for the day, along with classroom sessions to highlight the dangers for vulnerable road users when
interacting with large vehicles. 

The Cemex Team consisted of Ian Phoenix, Midlands Logistics Manager, Julie Welch, Health & Safety Manager, Chiedza Mupfumira, Social Impact
Specialist and Grant Garner, Logistics Supervisor.

The sessions were delivered to approximately 400 pupils and were very well received. They will hopefully go a long way to keeping the children safe. This is particularly important to Hornsea town which is rapidly expanding with for over 400 new homes, dramatically increasing LGV traffic delivering to the sites. Being a coastal town too, holiday traffic will be heavy during the holidays, again highlighting the relevance and importance of helping the children to remain safe.

As a thank you the pupils produced a handmade card to express how much they had enjoyed getting into the Cemex Truck!

Cemex’s road safety engagements are a useful tool in the business’ efforts to extend its commitment to health and safety to local communities. In 2023, Cemex has reached over 1000 primary school students through engaging discussions on road and cycling safety.
