Brick & Stone and we are delighted to see how fantastic the project looked when completed .” The product used was one of the new Eco bricks made at the Nelissen factory , and this N70 product reduces the carbon used during the manufacturing process whilst maximising the payload on deliveries , given the reduced thickness and width of the bricks supplied .
With increased market demand on the horizon , we ask how TBS is preparing to meet predicted volumes . “ Over the last 21 years , we have developed strong relationships with our suppliers , who recognise that we are intrinsically linked to their business ; we effectively tell them what to produce , and when ,” Trevor says . “ Across our import terminals in the UK , we hold anywhere between nine-to-12 million bricks at any given time , with the volume fluctuating depending on our order book . To ensure seamless supply , we hold production planning meetings with our suppliers every month to communicate our requirements . Market demand is predicted to rise from Q1 2025 , so we have already put plans in place to increase the production volumes from our partnering factories to cope with this .”
To wrap up , Trevor concludes : “ We ’ re looking to expand the business at a stable pace by identifying viable opportunities that are right for the entire group , and there are several developments in the pipeline that we can ’ t yet reveal . We will continue to thrive with modest expansion plans , and we are certainly not resting on what we ’ ve already achieved , but instead we are continually looking to move the business forward .” ■
