AGM Statement

Michelmersh Brick Holdings PLC (AIM: MBH), the specialist brick manufacturer, announces that at its Annual General Meeting (AGM), which is to be held at 11.00 am today, Martin Warner, Chairman, will make the following statement:

"Since returning to full production capacity at all of our sites during the summer of 2020, the Group has experienced strong demand from its customers, with the construction market remaining very active. During 2021 to date, the Group's performance has continued to be robust and production volumes have been ahead of expectations.

"Finally, I would like to thank Steve Morgan and Bob Carlton Porter, who step down at today's AGM, for their service to the Company. Their contribution over the years has helped Michelmersh to become the leading business it is today. We wish them well. At the same time, we look forward to working with Ryan Mahoney who will be appointed CFO at the Board meeting following the AGM."
