UK: Lafarge Cement UK is inviting members of the public to an open day at Aberthaw Works in Wales on 21 July 2012 to celebrate 100 years of operation at the site. Visitors will be able to talk to employees and go on a guided tour of the works and quarry.
Works manager James Kirkpatrick said, "We are very keen to share our centenary celebrations with as many local people as possible. Aberthaw Works has played a very important part in the local economy and communities of the Vale of Glamorgan for a long time. It is important to us that we mark this milestone by opening up our doors for people to come on site and find out more about our operation in the 21st Century.
Kirkpatrick added that the open day would include tours of the cement plant and adjacent quarry, an exhibition giving an overview of the 100-year history of the site and displays from other local companies and organisations.
