Ecocem appoints new UK and Ireland MD

Sally Anne Sherry is appointed Ecocem's

new managing director for UK and Ireland business

Ecocem has appointed Sally Anne Sherry as managing director for its UK and Ireland business operations. In this position, she will play a pivotal role in driving Ecocem’s growth and sustainability initiatives, and market presence in the UK and Ireland.

Ms Sherry brings almost two decades of experience in the property industry and expertise from several positions as a non-executive director.

As Managing Director, she is responsible for all aspects of Ecocem’s UK and Irish business, from operations and finance to market development, partnerships and sustainability. Her contribution is imperative for Ecocem’s success as it gears up to commercialise ACT, its low carbon cement technology, which the company claims capable of decarbonising the cement industry by up to 70 per cent. In line with Ecocem’s other manufacturing plants, the Dublin plant will be developed and expanded to support the commercial availability of ACT by 2026.

This appointment follows Susan McGarry’s recent move to take up the role of Director of Public Affairs and Sustainability at Ecocem Global. Ms Sherry said: “The need to cut global carbon emissions has never been more pressing, and the cement industry has a huge role to play in this. I’m looking forward to making my contribution to Ecocem’s mission. It’s an honour to have this opportunity to join an industry trailblazer in its efforts to achieve a sustainable future for all.”
