March 2011
2010 Was an up and down year. Quiet start, busy summer and a quiet end to the year.
Sales of the new Primrose Range of Handmade Bricks were encouraging.
Price of propane, yet again increasing, this time by 20% since December 2010.
During 2010 we were proud to supply our Primrose Yellow Handmade Facing Brick for the base of The Royal Anglian Regiment Memorial at The Imperial War Museum at Duxford.
February 2010
Prices were increased by 3% in January mainly due to high energy prices. Propane, which W H Collier use to fire the kilns has become a lot more expensive compared to Natural Gas.
Our Trading Terms and Conditions are now on our website on the Products page.
2010 Date Bricks are now in stock. Name Plaques can also be made to customer requirements.
