The Brick Development Association is launching a new Brickmakers Quality Charter (BQC) on the 1st March, to provide the whole UK supply chain from client to end user with assurances as to the product, manufacturing and ethical standards of BQC holders.
Use of the Charter provides architects, specifiers, end-users, merchants and customers with a massively valuable 'short cut' to identifying properly responsible clay brick and other clay product manufacturers.
The Brick Development Association has noticed a growing percentage of imported bricks that are coming into the UK from a global supply chain of which very little is known. With a post-Brexit focus on self-reliance, coupled with international co-operation through competitive trade, we are convinced that there is greater room for error when purchasing clay bricks from unregulated and largely unrecognised sources.
We want to make sure that the UK and European clay brick using sector, continues to enjoy the high reputation it has built up over decades.
Any clay brickmaker, irrespective of where they are on the globe can apply.
