Brickability to undertake phased reopening of sites

Building materials distributor Brickability Group updated the market on the impact of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic on Friday, and the phased reopening of its operations.

The AIM-traded firm said that, in light of recent announcements from large UK housebuilders, brick manufacturers and a number of its other customers reopening sites, Brickability would begin an “orderly and safe” reopening of its sites to meet demand, from Friday.

Since operations were suspended, Brickability said it had reviewed its existing health and safety protocols, and implemented “new and extensive” measures to ensure a “safe and controlled” environment for its staff and customers.

“The board will continue to monitor the situation and government advice,” Brickability said in its statement.

“Further detail will be provided in our scheduled trading statement later this month.”

At 1535 BST, shares in Brickability Group were up 0.73% at 46.64p.
