CEMEX NI Regional Director Paul Connolly, who participated in an on-site build earlier in the week, said: "We were delighted when Habitat for Humanity approached us regarding 'The Construction Challenge'. We donated material in kind to be used and committed five teams to the Build - one for every day of the build.

"I thought the Women's Build Day was a terrific idea and encourages more women to become involved in what is typically a male dominated Sector. All in all we have a thoroughly enjoyable and fulfilling week.

"Despite the weathers best attempts to dampen our spirits the atmosphere on site was great and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those at Habitat for Humanity and wish them all the best in their upcoming projects," added Mr Connolly.
