MBH PLC attended the Southern Regional Crest Nicholson Awards ceremony, held on the 20th November in recognition of suppliers, consultants and sub-contractors contributions during 2013-2014. The British manufacturer has worked with Crest Nicholson for many years and is currently providing a wide, diverse and innovative range of sustainable clay products on a variety of Crest Nicholson Group projects across the UK.

The Awards event in November 2014 was also extremely successful and, thanks to the generosity of all the suppliers that attended, £51,623.85 was raised. The Charity is not government funded so relies entirely on donations and this year’s event broke all previous records. Crest Nicholson are extremely thankful for the generous donations and are very proud that this money will now pay for a further two Sunshine Coaches and possibly some other medical equipment, days out for the children or a powered wheelchair.
Frank Hanna, Group Commercial Director of MBH PLC, collected the award on behalf of the company and proudly stated. “We are always striving to achieve the best quality clay products, whether they are standard bricks, bespoke purpose made products or handmade terra cotta for intricate remedial work. The team at the Freshfield Lane have over the years supplied many of the Crest Nicholson South schemes; they take a very professional approach with high sense of moral duty to maintain our company’s high standard and premium offering. We are proud that the teams’ efforts have achieved a Merit at the annual Crest Nicholson South Awards. It highlights our service led culture encompassing design, quality, health and safety, reliability and great customer care.
As the only brick manufacturer to win an award this year, we very much appreciate the entire team’s efforts and we will continue to meet the standards expected from us. We would like to thank Crest Nicholson for being a valued customer and prolific user of our Freshfield Lane products. They have shown consistent loyalty through several difficult years recently endured by the Construction Sector. With demand for house-building and brick production increasing, recognising all political parties are committed to the need for new housing, we at MBH PLC will ensure we offer a reliable consistency of service throughout the business. 2015 will see us continue to make incremental improvements at all our operating sites as we implement our production improvement programmes. It is important for our customers to see first-hand our commitment to being a well invested, long term, sustainable supplier whilst nurturing our apprenticeships and training programmes to maintain and meet the group’s high standards.”
John Shelbourne, Managing Director of Crest Nicholson South said, “MBH PLC provides an excellent service and has been consistently reliable in their brick supply during this difficult brick market. They produce top quality attractive bricks which we use on many schemes.”
