carbon reduction and reducing pollution from our manufacturing and logistics operations. We will also be increasing the use of renewable energy at all of our sites,” he says. Brett also plans to work collaboratively with local partners to increase biodiversity and to work more closely with suppliers to ensure that they demonstrate the same commitment to sustainability, Litchfield adds.
“Increasing sustainability does not mean that there has to be any sacrifice of quality however. Improved efficiency can go hand-in- hand with the creation of premium products. One advance is a laser scanner that ensures consistency in manufacturing to avoid any variation and monitors for any defects in the face texture. There is also a facility for laser height management and a new, advanced colour batching system to ensure consistency throughout. These and other advances in technology have allowed us to create products that wouldn’t have been possible previously.” One of the ranges launched in 2021 that
Litchfield predicts will be increasingly popular in 2022 is the new Invicta range.
“The product has been developed following a programme of significant investment and expansion of manufacturing capacity. This investment has allowed us to develop the manufacturing processes to be able to blend specially sourced aggregates to create new paving finishes which are unique to Brett Landscaping,” he says. “Through this new AggTech process unique natural aggregates are used on the surface of each paving block to create a stunning durable finish.” The Invicta range is available in four colours: Pearl, Moonstone, Onyx and Citrine. The colours are complementary so the different shades can be laid and arranged to meet a bespoke design brief, or to the preferred style and taste of the homeowner or client. Litchfield continues: “The introduction of the Invicta range is the latest in a long line of product developments from Brett Landscaping, and is the beginning of a new generation
of products that we are building capacity and capability for at our UK manufacturing centres. Included as part of the Invicta range are additional Invicta Flow paving blocks which are manufactured with a unique nib design for applications where permeable paving and a SuDS solution is a requirement. Permeable paving is another area that is key to helping to positively affect the built environment in regards to preserving water and preventing damaging surface water flooding. “While Brett continues to produce premium products in a sustainable manner we hope to also offer a premium service to all of our merchant partners in 2022 and we look forward to helping merchants to build a sustainable Britain.”
