Firm takes pride in projects near base
AN INDEPENDENT brick maker has played a significant role in three new residential developments in North Yorkshire.
York Handmade Brick Company has supplied specially manufactured bricks for contemporary developments at Tollerton, Raskelf and Stillington.
The Easingwold- based firm provided more than 160,000 bricks for the three sites, developed by North Yorkshire- based Ambleside Homes.
Alun Nixon, of York Handmade Brick, said: “It has been a privilege to play a part in creating some beautiful family homes in North Yorkshire for Ambleside.
“These are very attractive developments, which provide much- needed local housing and enhance their communities.
“While we have recently completed some stunning commissions for residential and commercial developments in London and other UK cities, it is vitally important that we continue to provide our bricks to more local developers and for self- builders.
“It is especially gratifying to see how our bricks blend in seamlessly with the quintessentially rural landscapes of these three North Yorkshire villages.
“We are deeply committed to the Vale of York, where we have been manufacturing bricks for the past 32 years, and it is a real pleasure to see our work being represented locally.”
The company said it was pleased to be supplying bricks so close to its home.
David Armitage, chairman of York Handmade, said: “Our flourishing relationship with Ambleside Homes is very important to us. It is tremendously gratifying to see our bricks being used so close to home.”
