European provider of low carbon cement technologies, Ecocem, has appointed Sally Anne Sherry as Managing Director for its UK and Ireland business operations.
In this position, Sally Anne will play a key role in driving Ecocem's growth and sustainability initiatives and market presence in the UK and Ireland as she brings almost two decades of experience in the property industry and expertise from several positions as a Non-Executive Director.
Sally Anne, in her role as Managing Director, oversees every aspect of Ecocem's UK and Irish operations, including operations, finance, market expansion, partnerships and sustainability. Her role is pivotal in driving Ecocem's success, especially as the company prepares to bring its low carbon cement technology, ACT, to market. This innovative technology has the potential to reduce carbon emissions in the cement industry by up to 70 per cent. As part of this initiative, the Dublin plant, mirroring Ecocem's other manufacturing facilities, will undergo development and expansion to ensure the commercial launch 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.
Sally Anne Sherry, Managing Director for UK and Ireland at Ecocem, stated: "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."
Donal O'Riain, Founder and Managing Director at Ecocem, said: "The next few years are going to be the most important for our business as we continue to develop and commercialise ACT, our revolutionary low carbon cement technology, in Europe and beyond. The carbon challenge facing our industry is significant and tackling it will make a major contribution to global decarbonisation. There is no better time to welcome Sally Anne and the wealth of experience she brings as we drive towards that goal."
