This month, we recognise Martin Standen for 25 years of dedicated service to the Michelmersh Group, reflecting a career filled with growth and achievement across multiple roles.
Martin’s journey began at Charnwood Forest Brick, where he started as a hand brickmaker before taking on various positions within the factory. He then moved to Blockleys, managing landfill and quarry operations while gaining qualifications in clay technology, ILM management, clay quarry management, and NEBOSH health and safety.
“Martin is an enthusiastic and dedicated team member with a special talent for product development and a passion to drive for positive change. Martin has been an influential leader and a true asset to the company, supporting several brands throughout Michelmersh’s history. With his extensive knowledge of our brick making processes, he is regarded as a source of wisdom and we look forward to many more years of working with Martin to shape Michelmersh’s future.”

After relocating to Hampshire, Martin became Works Manager at the Michelmersh factory. His career progressed further as he took on the role of Southern Operations Manager, supporting the Group Operations Director and overseeing southern factories and brick fabrication operations.
We thank Martin for his contributions over the years and look forward to his continued impact across the Group.
