Steve will work with manufacturing members alongside the wider supply chain to provide guidance and evidence of the credentials for masonry homes and structures.

MPA Masonry, the association representing the UK’s concrete and aircrete block manufacturers, has appointed Steve Callow as its new Manager for Masonry and Concrete Products.

In his new role, Callow will work with manufacturing members alongside the wider supply chain to provide guidance and evidence of the credentials for masonry homes and structures.

He will also act as MPA Masonry’s lead spokesperson, representing the organisation in trade, local and national media.

Callow succeeds Stephen Wharton, who took up a position with Herefordshire County Council.

Callow’s main activities in the position will involve representing the membership to external stakeholders, including housing developers, housing associations, architects and engineers.

Working closely with MPA Masonry’s marketing, health and safety, sustainability, engineering, architecture and technical experts, he will assist in the development of housebuilding-specific policy and thought leadership.
