Minerals Matter were delighted to acknowledge the support of the BRITISH AGGREGATES ASSOCIATION by presenting at their Annual Conference in Harrogate in September. One of our STEM Ambassadors Ian Cross updated the audience on Minerals Matter priorities and shared examples of careers events that have been recently delivered to schools, to get young people interested in the minerals industry and all it has to offer.
