Michelmersh Brick Holdings was established in November 1997 to enable the acquisition of Michelmersh Brick & Tile and Dunton Brothers.

Dunton makes traditional bricks at Ley Hill, Buckinghamshire and Michelmersh Brick & Tile is a long established business manufacturing premium quality bricks and tiles operating from a site near Romsey, Hampshire.

In February 1999, the business of Charnwood was acquired in Leicestershire. Charnwood has an excellent reputation for high quality handmade bricks for building and restoration projects. Charnwood Bricks were recently used in the restoration of St Pancras Station.

In February 2000, the Company acquired Blockleys in Telford, the leading producer of specification wire cut bricks and clay pavers. The 100 acre site also includes a quarry and landfill operation and some 80 acres of land on which a phased residential redevelopment scheme has been approved in outline by the local planning authority.

The Group has consistently invested in its plant to maximise the efficiency and quality of its product.

In 2004 shares were offered to the public as the business was successfully floated on the AIM Market.

In 2009 Hathern Terra cotta was established at our Charnwood plant continuing over 100 years of tradition in the manufacture of faience. Already work has been won at the Savoy Hotel and Victoria and Albert Museum.

Our most recent acquisition is Freshfield Lane Brickworks, the leading manufacturer of clamp-fired stock bricks based near Haywards Heath. The business has built a strong reputation for excellence in the production of distinctive, clamp fired, multi-coloured stock facing bricks and pavers targeted at the niche premium segment of the market.

The Group now employs over 300 people at its five plants and has an annual capacity of some 70 million pieces.

The latest acquisition has reinforced our position as Britain's Brick Specialists. Our skills, service, range of products and well invested plant combine to provide distinctive products not only that we can be proud of, but that also give value and pleasure to our customers, those involved in design and construction and to generations to come.

SALE OF 15 ACRE SITE IN TELFORD, SHROPSHIRE



Michelmersh Brick Holdings PLC (AIM: MBH), the specialist brick, land development and landfill company, is pleased to announce that it has exchanged contracts with Bovis Homes Limited on the sale of the 15 acre former factory site adjacent to its brickworks in Telford, Shropshire for a total consideration of £4.6 million in cash. The consideration is payable as to £1.6 million on completion, with £3.0 million payable in equal instalments on the first and second anniversary of completion, which is expected to take place within four months, after satisfaction of certain conditions. The net proceeds will be used to reduce the Group's borrowings and to meet the cost of the site re-organisation and taxation arising from the sale.



The Group's audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2012 included this plot of land under "current assets land for sale" at a value of £3.35 million, being the estimated sales proceeds less the associated costs of the sale and estimated costs of reconfiguration of the continuing operational brickwork site.



The Group will now seek to bring to completion the planning matters relating to the 15 acres of land ready for disposal under the Persimmon Option agreement, which should benefit from the precedent set by the above sale.



Martin Warner, CEO of MBH said: "The Board is pleased to achieve the disposal of this parcel of land which now allows the Group to proceed with the ongoing development of brick manufacturing, landfill and other development opportunities both at the Telford site and elsewhere in the Group."

Trading Update and Notice of Half Year Results

Michelmersh Brick Holdings Plc (AIM: MBH), the specialist brick manufacturer and landfill company, is pleased to report increased activity in the six months ended 30 June 2013 despite some adverse weather conditions that affected the construction industry in the early part of the year.

The Company's brick despatches were up 10 per cent. over the same period in 2012, which represented a like for like increase of 13 per cent. if activity from Dunton, the Company's brickworks which was closed in May 2013, is stripped out. This pleasing increase compares to the brick industry as a whole where despatches were flat against the equivalent period in 2012.

UK brick prices were largely unchanged in the first half while production costs continue to suffer inflationary pressure through increased energy costs.

MBH's order intake in the second quarter of 2013 was very encouraging and the Company is pleased to announce that the seasonally strong third quarter has started well. Some prestigious orders won include Lend Lease's new Elephant and Castle regeneration scheme, Liverpool University student accommodation, Ercall Wood Technology College in Telford and the Seaburn and Roker re-development.

Outlook
There are now clear signs that the significant industry de-stocking which started in 2009 has come to an end. Whilst this has still not translated into price recovery, there are early signs that these stock levels are now under some pressure across the industry.

Translation of these dynamics and increased housing activity into price recovery will be the determinant whether sales price growth exceeds cost inflation. The Company's full year results are expected be in line with expectations provided the recovery in prices over cost increases is achieved.

Notice of Results
The half year results which are expected to be released on 2 September 2013 will include exceptional costs relating to the closure of the Dunton brickworks, referred to above, and a profit on the disposal of the Company's 15 acre former brick factory site at Telford, for which contracts were exchanged in late May 2013.

Much the same as yours skinny, lol.
