Plant Manager
"I started with Lafarge in August 2008 as a Calcination operator, I spent a month training in Germany prior to the commissioning of the Ferrybridge Plant which was a massive investment from the business to ensure the correct training was given from day one. It was this investment from the business in my personal development that made me want to push further and progress within the company. The steps I took to get to be the Plant Manager at Ferrybridge was to continually push myself out of my comfort zone, I Tried my best to utilise the knowledge and skills of the people around me to enable me to learn and continually develop. The business has allowed me the opportunity to go through each step of my progression with the support, Training and development to allow me to succeed." - Paul Hartshorne, UK

Regional Commercial Manager
"Etex has given me real autonomy in my roles to date. This has given me the opportunity to get involved in certain aspects of business that other companies may have tried to shelter me from, this exposure I believe has been integral to my development and recent promotion. The company are more than happy to invest in people’s development, in fact they encourage it and will help guide you. However you are asked to map this journey yourself to a degree, I see this as a positive and the business have supported me with my development since I joined, be it in the shape of external courses, one to one tuition or shadowing of colleagues." - Charlie Boultwood, UK

Training Coordinator Workplace Learning
"Etex is an employer that provides opportunities. In my 36 years at Etex, I have had the opportunity to fill various positions. Started as a production operator, then executed various leadership positions for 25 years to currently work as a training coordinator for workplace learning in our factory. I get my energy from working with people, supporting and training them to make them even better in what they do. My current job suits me perfectly. With my broad experience, I have a good understanding of the needs and priorities of workplace learning in our factory. I make concrete training plans and support our factory employees to share their knowledge in a structured way. This enables us to lift each other and our entire production to a higher level.
