Ibstock Brick has promoted Andy Batterham to Director of Technical Services.
Joining Ibstock Brick in 1996, Andy, pictured above, has 22 years’ experience across all areas of the business and will help drive forward the development of the company’s portfolio of products and services. In his new role, Andy 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 plc businesses as necessary.
Of his new appointment, Andy commented: “I am honoured to take up this new position with Ibstock Brick.

I look forward to pushing Ibstock Brick forward in these areas with the support and backing of our expert team.”
