Jeremy Greenwood, managing director, Readymix, a unit of Lafarge Aggregates & Concrete UK, was presented with the wall-shield by wind-up radio inventor Trevor Bayliss. “This is a true honour,” said Greenwood. “Being recognised by The Green Organisation with Green Hero status is outstanding and just goes to show that all the hard work of our employees has paid off.
“I am so proud of each and every member of the business for all their efforts in extremely challenging times. Innovation has always been at the heart of Lafarge’s philosophy and we take our responsibility to reduce our impact on the environment extremely seriously. Creating products such as Extensia is one way in which we can help fulfil both those commitments.”
