Ibstock enjoys major success at prestigious Brick Awards 2022

It was a night to remember for Ibstock as we scooped five major award wins and received five judges’ recommendations at the Brick Development Association (BDA) Brick Awards 2022. 

Staged at London’s Royal Lancaster Gate Hotel, it is the crowning glory of the brick industry’s calendar. Ibstock emerged winners in the categories of Sustainability, Commercial, Small Housing Development, Education and that of Specialist Brick Contractor. We also received commendations for Urban Regeneration (The Hudson Quarter), two commercial awards for Shelter Hall and 197 High Street, Kensington; Education (St. Hilda’s College) and Innovation (Royal College of Art Battersea Campus). 

Kate Guy – Sales Director, Ibstock Clay Division, commented: “These prestigious awards are hard fought for with many worthy projects in contention in each category. Therefore, we are delighted to have been so successful and it is testament to the high quality and aesthetically pleasing designs of our clay bricks that combine durability, sustainability and technical performance. 

“As a company we have a great heritage, but are not complacent and look to the future with new designs and developments within our product range. Our achievements are built on a workforce that is committed to high standards and proud of the company brand and success.” 

Ibstock won the Sustainability and Commercial categories for The Department Store scheme in Bellefields Road, London. Architects Squire & Partners specified Ravenhead Tradesman Common brick with the work carried out by brickwork contractor Lyons & Anoot. 

Commenting on the Sustainability award for this project, the judges said: “This building is subtly beautiful, complimenting the local area perfectly and future proofed through its mixed use and flexible design.” 

With regard to the Commercial accolade, the judges observed: “We think this is an accomplished commercial building design with an amazing engagement within the local community.”
