New national technical manager joins Heidelberg Materials Cement

Dr Nina Cardinal has joined Heidelberg Materials Cement as our new national technical manager. She heads up the division’s technical team, which offers customers advice, information and support on all cement and cementitious issues.

Nina worked at Tata Speciality Steels for more than 20 years, latterly as technical director responsible for a 70-strong team, before joining the University of Sheffield as director of operations in the Faculty of Science in 2016.

“I am delighted to join the Heidelberg Materials team,” said Nina. “I am looking forward to building on our market-leading technical support and working with our customers to ensure they get the best possible customer service.”

Mark Hickingbottom, commercial director bulk products, added: “Nina has an excellent understanding of cement product and service development and will be working with customers and operational teams across our cement business.”
