In his new role, Batterham will take responsibility for procurement, raw material and ceramic evaluation, quality, energy and environment, as well as overseeing the company’s design and technical teams. He will also continue to work with other Ibstock businesses as necessary.

He said: “I am honoured to take up this new position with Ibstock Brick. As the company builds on its market leading position, it is important to have a strategic view of our technical services and product development, both for brick and non-brick products. My position also gives me the scope to make improvements in other areas of the business, such as sustainability and quality. I look forward to pushing Ibstock Brick forward in these areas with the support and backing of our expert team.”
