- MMA looks to the Future at Futurebuild
The MMA chose a striking new look to showcase just a few of our Member's products and to talk about Sustainability, Innovation and the key benefits of masonry homes. Everybody got hands on helping us to build the MMA brick house and it was great to talk to such a variety of people from Housebuilders to Architects.
Taking the chance to talk to students studying Architecture, Bricklaying and Plastering also gave us a great insight into what the upcoming skilled workers are learning and gave them the opportunity to learn about the new Innovations in masonry.
