Celebrating the Next Generation of Humes Leaders
Empowering emerging talent through Holcim’s Future Leaders Program
Over the past several months, ten emerging leaders from Holcim’s concrete products division, Humes, have come together to learn, share, and grow. The Future Leaders Program has given them the tools, networks, and confidence to lead with purpose.
Through three intensive modules, participants explored:
- Leadership & Safety – embedding a culture where people and safety come first.
- Technical & Operational Excellence – sharpening knowledge to drive efficiency, sustainability, and quality.
- Sales & Commercial Acumen – strengthening customer focus and commercial impact.
The program has already had a positive impact, building confidence, skills, and lasting professional networks.
Ten emerging leaders from Humes came together to learn, share, and grow through the Future Leaders Program.
The program really broadened my perspective on leadership and how different approaches can align and enhance my own style. Most importantly, it gave me lasting connections with leaders across the business. The collaboration was outstanding and gives me confidence in the strength of our people.
The program combined seminars and hands-on sessions, giving participants the tools to strengthen their leadership skills.
The Future Leaders Program has prepared me for future opportunities by helping me build a growth mindset, create engaged and high-performing teams, and better understand our customers.
Alex Stokes further commented that the program enhanced his leadership communication and strengthened his ability to drive positive change. He highly recommends it to anyone aspiring to lead within the organisation.
Beyond the learning, participants built a strong professional network. The collaboration and relationships formed are already supporting cross-business problem-solving and will continue to strengthen Humes into the future.
This achievement marks an important step in our ongoing investment in people – the foundation of Holcim’s NextGen Growth 2030 strategy. By empowering people, we’re equipping the next generation of leaders to shape the future of Humes and drive progress for people and the planet.
Congratulations to all graduates of the program.
