Brian G Newell, the founder and chairman of Shackerley Holdings Group Limited, the UK’s market leading manufacturer and prefabricator of ceramic granite ventilated facade systems, has received an unprecedented award from the British Standards Institution (BSI).
At the recent 2014 Standards Forum in London, Mr Newell was presented with the BSI’s ‘International Standards Maker’ award by ISO Vice President Elisabeth Stampfl-Blaha (pictured) in recognition of his ‘significant contribution to the development of European and international standards’ for the worldwide ceramics industry.
Mr Newell is renowned for his technical expertise in the specification, manufacture and installation of ceramic products having worked in the industry for over 50 years. He is a founder member and director of The Tile Association (TTA) which represents every sector of the UK wall and floor tiling market and he chairs its influential Technical Committee.
For the past three decades he has been heavily involved in the creation and development of the standards that underpin every aspect of the ceramic tiling industry here in the UK, across Europe and throughout the rest of the world.
In 2012 he was invited to become the Convenor of a new ISO working group established to develop the very first set of internationally recognised standards to cover ceramic wall and floor tile installation. In accepting the invitation he became the first UK delegate to be appointed as Convenor of any ISO ceramics working group.
