Ibstock continues to support the next generation of bricklayers

The bricklaying faculty based at Green Lane Campus received 10,075 bricks. This is the third consecutive year that Ibstock, which also has a site in Walsall, has contributed to the training of the college’s bricklaying and multi-skills construction students.

Lecturer, Paul Dixon said: “Ibstock’s continued support has a tremendous impact on our students’ learning and development. This donation will last for up 18 months, with 140 full and part-time students and apprentices using the bricks during their training in our two workshops." He added: “Regularly working with brand new and nearly new bricks helps instil a professional ethic in our students. It encourages them to pride in their work while honing their skills, and it enhances their hands-on experiences, providing a strong foundation for industry success.”
