NEWS | IG Masonry Support Sponsors Craftsmanship Category at Brick Awards 2025

Posted on by Claire McCammon

The annual Brick Development Association Brick Awards shortlist has been announced, and IG Masonry Support is proud to once again be part of this prestigious celebration of brick architecture in the UK.

This year, we’re delighted to sponsor the Craftsmanship category, which recognises exceptional examples of skilled brickwork that demonstrate attention to detail, quality, and artistry on site. This aligns closely with our values as a business focused on delivering precision-engineered solutions that support the highest standards of construction.

As one of the most respected accolades in the built environment, the Brick Awards highlight the creative and technical possibilities of clay brick across 17 categories. These span sectors such as housing, education, innovation, and specialist brickwork – showcasing standout contributions from architects, contractors, developers, and housebuilders.

IG Masonry Support is also proud to have supplied products and support services to two of this year’s shortlisted projects:

Worldwide

Public

 

This project exemplifies the design excellence and skilled brickwork celebrated by the Brick Awards, and we are pleased to have contributed to its success through our bespoke masonry support solutions.

Scott Denham, Sales Director at IG Masonry Support, said:

“The Craftsmanship category holds particular significance for us this year. As a company built on precision, innovation, and offsite expertise, we’re proud to sponsor an award that champions the hands-on skill and dedication of brickwork specialists across the UK.

We’re equally pleased to see IG Masonry Support products featured in several shortlisted projects once again. We wish all the finalists the very best of luck and look forward to celebrating with them later this year.”

The Brick Awards ceremony will take place on Wednesday 5th November 2025 at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London. To view the full shortlist and find out more, visit www.brick.org.uk/brick-awards.

NEWS | Independent ISO 14001 Accreditation Achieved

Posted on by Siobhan Martin

IG Masonry Support is delighted to announce that we have secured ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System certification, marking a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to reducing our environmental footprint.

ISO 14001 is the internationally recognised standard for environmental management, providing a framework for organisations to improve performance through more efficient resource use and waste reduction. This achievement underscores our dedication to embedding sustainable practices across our operations.

Previously covered under the wider Keystone Group’s ISO 14001 certification, we sought our own accreditation to ensure the standard reflected the environmental performance of all our sites directly.

“We are incredibly proud to have achieved our own ISO 14001 certification,” said Judith Mitchell, Environmental, Health and Safety Officer at IG Masonry Support. “Sustainability is not just a corporate responsibility for us – it’s a core part of how we operate. This accreditation demonstrates our commitment to protecting the environment while continuing to deliver the highest quality products and services to our customers.”

The certification follows a rigorous independent audit by the British Board of Agrément (BBA), confirming that our company has robust environmental management systems in place – from waste reduction and energy efficiency initiatives to sustainable sourcing and continuous performance monitoring.

This milestone supports our company’s broader ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) objectives and its mission to lead the construction sector in environmental innovation. We continue to invest in eco-conscious technologies, materials, and processes that contribute to a greener built environment.
