Building materials supplier Holcim UK is to be a headline sponsor of Super Trowel 2026, the UK masonry event and bricklaying competition.
The supplier will provide its Masterlite aggregate blocks for competitive heats taking place at colleges across the country, with any remaining materials left on site to support apprentices’ ongoing training.
Now in its fourth year, Super Trowel continues to celebrate speed, precision and craftsmanship in bricklaying, while creating a national platform to spotlight key industry priorities including skills, careers and workforce development.
Holcim will also supply blocks for the Super Trowel finals, taking place from July 31 to August 1 2026 at Hertfordshire Showground.
Director of building products at Holcim UK, Ben Warren, said “Super Trowel has quickly become a highlight of the masonry calendar, and we’re proud to support its fourth year as headline sponsor.
“What makes the event special is that it brings together every part of the bricklaying community — from apprentices through to experienced tradespeople, contractors and suppliers. It’s a real celebration of the craft and the skill that sits behind good masonry, and a great opportunity to connect with the people shaping the future of the trade.”
