🌱 Cultivating a Greener Tomorrow at Catnic! 🌱

We're incredibly proud of our dedicated Biodiversity Team, Helen, Vanessa, Kira, Lee, and their amazing colleagues, who are literally planting the seeds for a more sustainable future here on our Caerphilly site.

With a modest budget, this passionate team has transformed our office surroundings, growing a vibrant array of plants from sunflowers to foxgloves, repurposing materials, and even planning for rainwater harvesting. It's a true testament to what dedication and teamwork can achieve!

Their efforts demonstrate our deep commitment to biodiversity and local environmental stewardship. A huge thank you to everyone involved!

CATNIC SPRINGWATCH: EPISODE ONE

Move over BBC… our new wildlife camera has launched with its own mini series starting this June, right here in Caerphilly.

It's already uncovered the real VIPs of the site… our resident Swallows.

Installed last week, the camera picked up two chicks over the weekend, and by this morning, a surprise third chick had made an appearance. A classic Springwatch twist, delivered right on cue.

These Swallows returned to Catnic in early April and have been hard at work ever since, rebuilding their nest and tending to their growing family. Once they’ve fledged, we’ll be moving the camera to follow the next stars of our series: the hedgehog family living in the office car park (our very own night shift celebrities).

This growing cast of characters is all part of our wider biodiversity work across the Caerphilly site, supporting habitats, celebrating local wildlife, and making nature part of everyday life here at Catnic.

And with more species popping up around site, it’s safe to say our Catnic Springwatch has only just begun.

Make way for the Pros... This year's Super Trowel Welsh Regional kicked off in Neath, at Port Talbot College. An exhilarating day, the Pros battled it out with only one goal in mind, to make it to the finals.

An amazing display of speed, skill, and precision from every competitor. Congratulations to Lewis Sampson, who took second place with 587 bricks, and Perry Day, who took first place with an impressive 620 bricks.

We can't wait to see you at the Final in July! 🎉

Happy World Environment Day! 🌍💚

At Catnic, we’re proud to be working towards a greener future, and we’re doing it with purpose. We’re the first lintel manufacturer aiming for Net Zero Carbon by 2030, and we’ve already cut our emissions by nearly 70% thanks to big changes across our Caerphilly site, including switching to 100% renewable electricity and electrifying our operations.

Our sustainability commitment is built on four pillars that help us protect the planet and support our communities:

Our Sustainability Commitment is built on four pillars that guide every decision we make:

• Ensuring our manufacturing sites in the UK & Germany are Net Zero by 2030
• Helping our customers deliver a sustainable future through our products and services
• Protecting and expanding the biodiversity that co-exists on our sites and in the local communities where we operate
• Improving our material efficiency by minimising on-site waste and maximising waste recovery

A greener construction industry starts with manufacturers who act early and decisively.

Our Build It Better initiative is growing faster than we ever imagined, and we’re so proud of what it’s becoming.

In 2025, we supported 12 colleges with £50k of free Catnic product to help students learn with real materials.

In 2026, that support has grown to over 30 colleges and £200k worth of donated product, helping even more learners build confidence, skills and brighter futures.

We’re opening the doors for new colleges to join in 2027, so if you know a college that would love to be part of this, tag them below or share this post.

Let’s keep supporting the next generation together 💛
