Ibstock Brick Limited has awarded its prestigious ‘Preferred Supplier Status’ to Craven Fawcett for its range of Clayworking Products and Service Engineering Support.

Ibstock Brick is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of high quality clay facing bricks, offering an unrivalled choice of almost 400 products from both fully automated factories through to traditional hand-made and clamp fired sites.

Commenting on the award, Mr Keith Morton, Ibstock Brick Production Director said,
“I am pleased to report that Craven Fawcett has worked hard to increase its level of support to Ibstock. In today’s ever-changing industry you are only as good as the people you work with, and the award is recognition of the very close working relationship between our two companies.” Keith added “We regularly conduct Supplier Performance Surveys at each of our factories, and Craven Fawcett has consistently provided Ibstock with excellent sales and service back-up.”

Ibstock’s investment in their Continuous Improvement (CI) initiative has ensured that all levels within the organisation have input into improving its products and processes to the benefit of its customers, shareholders and employees. This is mirrored by Craven Fawcetts’ Customer Service Improvement Campaign, which is integrated into the Company’s ISO9001 and ISO 14001 Accreditations.

After receiving the Preferred Supplier Status award from Ibstock Brick, Craven Fawcett Sales Director Mr Barry Richardson said,
“It is very satisfying to be recognised as providing high quality products and services to our customers. We are working very closely with Ibstock Brick on a number of new product innovations as well as heavily investing in the implementation of a Consignment Stock scheme that will enable Ibstock factories to operate a just-in-time production schedule.” 

Both Craven Fawcett and Ibstock Brick operate in very competitive markets, which require products to be delivered on time, be fit for purpose and offer tangible value. The presentation of this prestigious Award and the anticipated future development of the trading relationship will allow both Companies to take advantage of new opportunities as they present themselves over forthcoming years.
