Manthorpe Building Products is also passionate about taking care of the environment , and its inhabitants . The business has been pleased to see that local conservationists are pushing housebuilders to install its specialized nesting bricks for swifts , one of the UK ’ s most endangered birds .
Partnering industry
Modern building practices have greatly improved the quality of new homes in the UK , but this is not always to the benefit of everyone . Bird species , such as swifts , have occupied cracks and crevices in buildings for thousands of years , but the improved standard and style of modern construction has put their survival in towns and cities at risk .
Manthorpe ’ s nest bricks have been developed in conjunction with major house builders and conservation experts to provide a safe , spacious , and habitable area for swifts to nest in the structure of modern houses . The number of swifts in the UK is rapidly declining , having fallen by 65 percent in the past 25 years , and Manthorpe hopes to contribute to their protection in any way it can .
Innovation has always been at the core of the company . From new technology investment to in-house research and development , Manthorpe is constantly looking ahead to meet the needs of the industry , as well as those who are directly impacted by it . “ I look forward to seeing how the business will continue to grow in the years to come . Manthorpe is determined to be a partner to the construction industry to ensure that building is made safer and more effective ,” he concludes . ■
