Brick production figures have been rising over recent years and this month\u2019s figures, showing a modest but positive 2.2% rise for the first six months of 2019, demonstrate the result of ongoing investment in the sector<\/h2>\n

With the NHBC<\/a> reporting the highest number of new home registrations since 2007*, it\u2019s good to see brick manufacturers continuing to increase production numbers, ensuring the supply of British-manufactured bricks keeps pace with demand.<\/p>\n

The Brick Development Association<\/a>\u2019s Tom Farmer said: \u201cIn a time where construction output is starting to be affected by uncertainty, it is good to see housebuilding remaining buoyant. The pressing need for additional housing should make this sector resilient to economic headwinds over the next quarter and our members are certainly not taking their foot off the accelerator when it comes to investment in UK manufacturing.”<\/p>\n

“Recent Government moves to encourage affordable and public sector housing, alongside reassurances around the Help to Buy scheme<\/a> are all supporting a longer-term view that housebuilding volume will be maintained.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the number of new housing starts has been relatively subdued in the year to date, the news of a 12% rise in new home registrations over the same period last year is extremely encouraging.<\/p>\n

The 2.2% increase in production volume precisely mirrors the increase<\/a> in dispatches to site \u2013 indicating a focus on efficient stock control and product ordering that is one characteristic of an industry determined to reduce waste and improve flexibility.<\/p>\n
