“ Yes ,” Trevor interjects , “ now that we ’ ve got the first unit in place , we ’ re planning to add another facility that will mirror it , with direct access straight between the two . As long as the market continues to return in the way that we ’ ve seen lately , we ’ ll be breaking ground on the second building come 2024 .
“ One of our existing partnering factories in Europe , Nelissen , has planning permission to build a second facility on its site ,” Daniel concludes , “ which will have the ability to be hydrogen fuelled . Not only does this present us with an excellent opportunity to increase our volume , it is also a step towards tackling the carbon emissions produced by the brick industry . As Trevor said , we are somewhat capacity constrained . This is based on what our suppliers can provide us with currently , so we always celebrate these longterm developments . Really , over the next five years , we are hoping to see additional prefabrication solutions become a solidified part of our portfolio , which , combined with the increases in additional material coming over , will allow us to continue to extend our volume for the UK market .” ■
