One of the UK's biggest brick makers has delayed the £27 million refurbishment of its Staffordshire factory in response to global supply chain issues.
Forterra announced the multi-million pound investment last year as part of a move to improve 'efficiency and sustainability' at its Wilnecote factory, near Tamworth.
In a recent trading update, the Northampton-based company - which employs about 1,800 people across 18 manufacturing sites - revealed that it is putting off its renovation plans for three months due to the limited availability of semi-conductors and chips used in robotic equipment.
