ON THE COVER

Construction World spoke to Richard Tomes, Executive, Sales & Marketing at AfriSam about the challenges and opportunities for cement companies in this challenging time. “If you take readymix, aggregates and cement into account, AfriSam is an attractive business. We consume a large percentage of our own cement through our readymix business, and in turn we consume a large percentage of aggregate though our readymix business,” says Tomes. Read the interview with him on pages 4 to 6. Pictured: AfriSam was the concrete supplier of choice for the construction of the iconic PWC Tower in Midrand.
