Long established company

Kevington Building Products Ltd was founded in 1987 by co-founders Duncan Cunningham and Iain Durrant. The company initially operated from Kevington Farm in the Kent countryside.

 

Aims

The company was set up in a bid to offer an efficient and competitive cutting service to the construction industry. The objective was to fill the gap created by the extended delivery periods which were quoted at the time by most brick manufacturers.

 

Branches established nationwide

By the time Warren Dean joined the company in 1992 the company was gathering momentum. With the increase in sales achieved during the following twelve months, a second factory was opened in Gloucestershire which serviced the West Country. During the next few years the business grew from strength to strength. By the year 2000 there were five Kevington factories operating throughout the UK.

 

Expanded Services

The product portfolio had also transformed from basic cutting to the manufacture of BS special shapes and prefabricated brickwork components which evolved under the “offsite construction” theme.

 

Innovative products

The Kevington Faststack™ prefabricated chimney system was the first to offer real brick slips. This set the standards against which others were, and still are, measured. This success has been followed by Kevington Fastwall™ - our new brick wall panel system.

 

Part of an International Group

Following on from the success of the 1990`s, in 2001 the directors of Kevington Building Products entered into an agreement with CRH Plc, the international building materials group. With this backing Kevington has continued to grow and now operates from six sites throughout the UK offering a truly comprehensive national service.
