icks Total deliveries of clay bricks decreased from 2668 million bricks in 2004 to 2419 million bricks in 2005 and actual production decreased slightly from 2707 million bricks in 2004 to 2601 million bricks in 2005. Clay brick stocks were 776 million in 2005 up slightly on 600 million in 2004. Marshalls Plc, the landscape and stone products group, sold its clay brick business to Hanson Plc at the end of 2004 for £65 million. Marshalls Clay Products was the fifth largest brick manufacturer in the UK, producing around 160 million brick equivalents a year and in the year ending 2004. In 2004, Hanson Brick also purchased Wilnecote Brick from Tarmac for an undisclosed sum. Wilnecote Brick operates one modern plant at Tamworth in Staffordshire with a capacity of about 35 million bricks per year. The plant is based on mudstones of the Etruria Formation, the premium brick clay produced in Britain. The acquisition now makes Hanson Brick the leading UK brick manufacturer with Ibstock Brick the second largest. The Austrian group Wienerberger, the world’s leading brick producer, acquired ‘The brickbusiness’ for about £90 million, in early 2005. The brickbusiness was formed in 2002 by the merger of Ambion Brick and Chelwood Brick and is the UK’s third largest brick producer with nine works and sales of £64 million in 2003/4. It accounted for about 17 per cent of UK brick sales. Great Britain is by far the largest European market for facing bricks. great britain production of bricks, blocks and tiles 1995–2004 Material 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 Millions Bricks: Clay 3 025 2 849 (a) 2 828 (a) 2 830 (a) 2 759 (a) 2 694 (a) 2 595 (a) 2 600 (a) 2 606 (a) 2 707 Sandlime 40 31 … … … … … … … … Concrete 191 166 169 171 180 170 159 150 167 161 Total 3 256 3 046 2 997 3 000 2 939 2 864 2 754 2 750 2 772 2 868 Brick Production Region North East 190 150 160 154 133 130 136 138 137 147 Yorkshire and the Humber 278 234 218 194 211 195 186 187 186 195 East Midlands 415 447 473 518 522 508 495 480 487 514 East of England 365 370 325 248 331 334 321 349 362 343 South East 540 523 535 565 409 394 385 371 346 346 South West 171 168 152 146 145 148 132 129 132 143 West Midlands 649 576 558 598 573 572 558 570 586 624 North West 313 295 295 303 320 292 299 290 296 312 england 2 921 2 763 2 718 2 727 2 643 2 573 2 513 2 513 2 531 2 624 Wales 121 106 104 102 123 109 106 106 119 117 scotland 214 177 176 172 174 181 136 131 122 127 great britain 3 256 3 046 2 997 3 000 2 939 2 864 2 754 2 750 2 772 2 868 Million square metres Concrete building blocks: Dense aggregate 36.9 35.0 37.3 39.4 38.4 37.6 36.6 35.7 36.8 37.7 Lightweight aggregate 18.1 16.3 17.8 19.1 20.8 23.0 22.7 23.5 25.0 25.5 Aerated concrete 23.2 24.6 27.5 26.1 28.5 29.6 28.6 32.3 33.9 33.1 Total 78.3 75.9 82.5 84.7 87.8 90.2 87.9 91.5 95.7 96.3 Roofing tiles: Concrete 26.1 24.7 25.0 25.0 26.0 26.8 24.8 25.0 21.4 20.7 (a) Including sandlime bricks.
