PeterTrys EV Interview with @Marty McGrath - I have an enjoyable chat in a fully electric Van (Maxus E-Deliver 3) and share a few stories about Gaelic Football, International Compromised Rules Football (Ireland v Australia), Ultra Marathons, Rugby, Sustainable Building and Building Materials with Marty McGrath former Fermanagh inter-county footballer, GAA All-Star and Ireland International Rules player! 🟢⚪
Marty works for @Mannok who are very much committed to environmental sustainability and lowering their carbon footprint across their entire operation and supply chain. Not an easy task when your industry is Cement, one of the most energy intensive and highest carbon footprint products in the world.
This video is part 1 of two video I've done with Mannok. Watch out for part 2 where I interview @Paul Monaghan, Mannok's Head of Sustainability, where we delve deeper into Mannoks Sustainability Action Plan and how it can help and inform others in the Building Materials production sector.
