Quality progression for Blockleys range

Following on from the recent substantial investment in machinery upgrades to enhance the unloading process and accommodate further sustainable measures at Blockleys, an updated product range will be made available from the 1st of April. This alteration to the range aims to improve delivery times whilst continuing to offer the highest quality products for MBH PLC’s ever expanding customer base.

Frank Hanna, Group Commercial Director of MBH PLC says, “In an endeavour to improve stock levels, quality, consistency & efficiency we have made a decision to review our current range of products at Blockleys. We are confident that reducing our range of products will ensure that we have an increased capacity to carry this core range or products, inevitably giving improved delivery times.”

Blockleys leads the way in high performance brick manufacturing, acting as a vital partner for many commercial developers across the country. MBH PLC is committed to leading the way, for example it was the first UK manufacturer to offer BIM (Building Information Modelling) three dimensional, data rich design files, in order to take the next step towards delivering client demand for collaborative construction data.

Free BIM brick files can be downloaded directly from www.mbhplc.co.uk or from www.bimstore.co.uk.
Blockley-Range-and-Samples
A wide spectrum of colours and textures are on offer from the updated Blockleys range. Examples include Black Smooth, Wrekin Berkshire Red and Hadley Red Wirecut bricks.

Eyecatching collections

More than 24 million units per year are produced at Blockleys with a full range of standard specials, adding character and individuality to any building. Blockleys is involved with a wide variety of public and private sector developments, from schools and hospitals to offices and apartments. With such a large responsibility MBH PLC listened to its customers so that it could offer the widest range of colours and textures, to meet every need. Each Blockleys product produced has excellent industry leading technical properties encompassing durability, frost resistance and nil efflorescence. From retail parks to conservation areas, Blockleys offers a vast range which comes with sound guidance to comply with surrounding built environments.

Blockleys offers a large range of contemporary products ideal for unique designs, including the Synthesis Range which is unaffected by the changes being implemented and continues to offer unique preblended bricks. The Synthesis Range brings together unique individual bricks, and transforms them into eye catching collections, giving an appealing mosaic appearance, mixing colours to complement each other and contribute stark contrasting blends or sympathetic palettes.

This quality progression for the Blockleys range, shows MBH PLC’s intuitive and pro-active approach to the environment, health and safety, employee development and the local community as it continues to shape the future of the brick industry by offering a contrasting range for diverse customer needs, whilst also responding to the increasing construction sector demands.

All units meet British Standards BS EN 771-1, BS 4729 and BS EN 1344. The production processes are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and MBH PLC uses the latest CAD/BIM technology to offer class-leading design assistance.
