The Brick Development Association (BDA) is pleased to announce the launch of its new website www.brick.org.uk
The new site provides easy access to the Association’s portfolio of technical publications, design details and guides to structural brickwork, all in one place and free at the point of download. As well as a catalogue of technical advice, visitors are able to read the latest industry news, glean inspiration from case studies and subscribe to the popular Brick Bulletin publication.
The Association will also use the site as a channel through which to communicate the sector’s position on economic matters, current affairs and on important issues such as sustainability and standards, further strengthening the collective voice of its 15 members, who between them account for almost 100% of the UK’s clay brick manufacturing output.
Tom Farmer, Marketing & Communications Manager of the Association comments
“We have for nearly 50 years provided technical expertise of an exceptional standard, supporting the work of developers, engineers, architects and planners as well as those in education.
