Cemex UK is moving its headquarters from Thorpe, Surrey, to its offices in Rugby, Warwickshire, to create a new HQ from 1 July 2018, said the company in a statement.

The company has had close links with Rugby for nearly 150 years and operates one of the most modern plants in the town. To date the location has provided a regional centre for the company. From 1 July the senior leadership team and all back-office functions such as Taxation, Communications and Human Resources will be based at Rugby, working alongside business areas such as the National Customer Service Centre, Marketing and Logistics.

“Rugby lies geographically at the centre of our UK business and with changing patterns of working such as increased working from home and from operational sites, it makes good business sense to consolidate our offices.  Rugby and the Rugby brand are at the ‘heart’ of our business and the creation of the new headquarters will ensure greater efficiency and communication,” comments Michel Andre, Country President, Cemex UK.
