This week we received our first order for our new concrete facing bricks from Persimmon Homes. This is culmination of a fantastic new product development and introduction effort from the whole Concrete Products Team with exceptional support from Mathew Tranter in Housing Solutions.

Persimmon is the UK’s largest house builder so this order is a significant milestone and I’m sure that this will develop a larger and wider relationship. Concrete facing bricks replace traditional clay brick of which around 1.7 billion are used in the UK each year. This really is ‘Growing the Pie’ for concrete and CEMEX.
