New Caribbean Cement GM appointed

Cemex executive Alejandro Vares has been appointed general manager of Caribbean Cement Company Ltd (CCCL), replacing incumbent head Anthony Haynes, effective 4 May 2015.

Vares will leave his position as Interim Country Manager of Cemex Costa Rica to join the Rockfort, Kingston-based cement producer, Caribbean Cement said in a press release.

The appointment was approved by the Board of Directors on Thursday. Haynes will serve until the end of April, then transition to a new position as “consultant to the TCL Group for six months in this instance,” the release said.

Cemex recently doubled its stake in CCCL's parent company Trinidad Cement Ltd from 20 per cent to 39.5 per cent.
