Significant events
- “The company delivered a solid performance, despite a material reduction in sales volumes, as it benefited from strong cost management and robust commercial discipline, as well as agile operational performance.”
- “Production at our new Atlas factory, in the West Midlands, which produces Ibstock's lowest embodied carbon bricks to date, with around 50% lower carbon than the previous factory. Atlas has also launched our first ever Carbon Neutral® certified bricks as part of its range.”
- “Production at Atlas, and the adjacent upgraded Aldridge factory, will ramp up over the course of 2025, with volumes managed as part of the broader network according to prevailing market conditions.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
