The Masonry Association of Great Britain (MAGB) was launched in early 2025 under the leadership of industry expert Eve Livett, with a mission to unite the masonry supply chain under a common banner, deliver cutting-edge training, and represent the sector in key national conversations, particularly as the UK government presses forward with its “Get Britain Building” agenda. MAGB brings together contractors, manufacturers, distributors, and innovators working with brick, block, stone, GRC, and other essential materials across the built environment.
MAGB’s role is to promote quality, competency, and innovation across every link in the supply chain—from materials development through to installation and aftercare. The association is committed to working with all stakeholders, both in the UK and internationally, to raise standards, advocate for policy change, and drive forward sustainability and performance in construction.
Central to MAGB’s work is the National Masonry Academy, a state-of-the-art training centre in Sheffield offering accredited qualifications including NVQs, apprenticeships, CPD, and Registered Installer Programmes. Developed in partnership with CITB, the Academy is designed to meet the urgent demand for skills across the masonry trades. Training is accessible through five strategically located facilities across the UK, ensuring regional reach and flexibility for employers and learners alike.
Visqueen, Caxton Builders, Bliss Brickwork, Phoenix Brickwork, Euro Building & Maintenance, and Rawlplug—organisations that are deeply invested in the future of high-quality masonry construction, are already welcomed in their diverse and dynamic membership base.
An Invitation to Collaborate
Eve Livett, CEO of the Masonry Association of Great Britain, said: “We warmly invite IMS members to connect with us. Whether through joint training initiatives, shared research, international knowledge exchange, or simply open dialogue, we believe we can achieve more by working together.
As the construction industry faces complex challenges—from decarbonisation to digitalisation—the masonry community has a vital role to play. Through unity, investment in skills, and shared expertise, we can ensure that masonry remains not only relevant, but essential, to the future of the built environment.“
