Ibstock in drive for customer value

Ibstock plc, the manufacturer of clay bricks and concrete building products, has launched a new brand identity to ensure its extensive product and service offering is more clearly recognised.

“While some customers recognise the full breadth of what the Group can offer, there is a huge opportunity to improve understanding and increase brand awareness further. We need an identity that is fit for the future and reflects our innovation and energy, but also presents a consistent and co-ordinated Ibstock brand across our complete range of products. We think this new brand identity and strapline gives us that.”
