Over a century of clay and concrete product innovation
A history of building the future
Wherever you are in Britain, you won’t be far from a building with a Forterra brick, block or bespoke clay or concrete product somewhere in its fabric.
Our history of manufacturing building products began in the 19th century; we kept Britain building right through the 20th century; and we continue to be at the forefront of building innovation in the 21st century so you, and future generations, can continue to build history.
Whether you’re looking for the latest in offsite manufacturing techniques for your next commercial project; for a high volume, sustainable brick supply for a new housing development; or maybe even bespoke, hand-crafted clay products for a heritage restoration project, our products and services are Keeping Britain Building.

Stephen Harrison,
Chief Executive
As we progress through the first quarter of 2021, we ask Forterra Chief Executive, Stephen Harrison, about how Forterra navigated the challenges of 2020 and where its focus will be during this year.
Q: How has the pandemic affected Forterra in terms of what the business set out to achieve at the start of 2020?
SH: As soon as the seriousness of the pandemic became clear we swiftly changed our focus to the health, safety and well-being of our people and the preservation of cash. As the year has progressed, preserving cash has become less important thanks to our ability to raise further equity from our shareholders. It’s ensured we have been able to continue building our new factory at Desford which, once finished, will be the biggest brick factory in Europe. Suffice to say, the pandemic didn’t change our priorities but simply delayed them by a few months.
