Mark Procter

Supplier Relations

With an expert knowledge of brick manufacturing techniques, clay sources and mortars, Mark Procter joined European Building Materials in 2016. Among his roles, Mark is developing new supplier sources.

We have worked with EBM on a number of projects and have found them helpful in the development of the client and architects vision of the brickwork packages, including the bricks , brick faced precast and specials . They not only supply the bricks but follow through , visiting site, advising and resolving issues that may arise. When EBM are  involved in our project we are confident in their commitment to provide the best possible service. We are currently working with EBM on a number of projects and will continue to do so in the future.

Nic at Ebm has been very supportive in the early stages of design development and specification.

He has helped push our understanding of brickwork, its design capabilities and finishing of this product, over the last five years and we now have a substantial and resilient catalogue of Award Winning Brick Buildings in our portfolio as a result – including our Dundee Council Headquarters (BDA Worldwide brick Award winner 2011), Forth Valley College Alloa and Stirling, The Battle of Bannockburn Visitors Centre and most recently our Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centre Lanarkshire (which was nominated for Building of the Year in the Architects Journal Awards 2015).

Nic’s technical seminars have proved interesting and informative for all our staff and we hope to work with Ebm in the future with many more new and interesting products.

Ebm’s  staff knowledge has been instrumental in the selection and use of bricks and glazed bricks on a number of our projects.  They have taken us on factory visits, assisted in the design, detailing and especially the use of special shaped bricks. They carefully follow the projects from inception to completion on site. We will continue to use their services in the future and recommend them to other architects.
