Following a period of consultation with Employee Representatives and Unite the Union, cement company CEMEX has today confirmed its proposal that it will mothball its South Ferriby Cement Plant in North Lincolnshire.
Approximately 110 employees who are currently based at the plant will be affected, with the majority of redundancies taking place in July.
Customers will be supplied from the company’s existing cement network and the company says that it remains “committed to the UK and its European business, which is one of the company’s largest regions, and will continue to have a strong national presence”.
The decision on the South Ferriby plant will allow CEMEX to optimise the network it has available across the region, and is part of an ongoing strategy to strengthen the CEMEX portfolio.
