About Brickworks

Brickworks' story started in New South Wales in 1934, as an effort to preserve the local brick industry during the Great Depression.

Today the Australian-owned group of companies is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and is recognised globally as a leading manufacturer of quality building products.

Brickworks operate a number of brands in Australia and North America, including Austral Bricks, GB Masonry and Glen-Gery. Get inspired by these household names here.

 

Their Problem

In the 2000s, Brickworks began acquiring a number of new businesses to grow its business offering to include an extensive range of building materials and floor and roof tiles.

The rapid expansion meant Brickworks needed to keep up with growing customer demand while keeping costs down and reducing the likelihood of errors that could delay the credit application process.

Since implementing ApplyEasy in 2012, Brickworks has benefited from a faster and more accurate application turnaround.

Recalling the series of acquisitions from the 2000s, Lyn, Brickworks' National Credit Manager commented:

“Having ApplyEasy back then would have been simply brilliant.”
