The craftsman

Glen Griffiths

With more than four decades of experience across the UK and Australia, Glen Griffiths is a highly respected bricklayer known for his craftsmanship, attention to detail, and ability to deliver standout work on both heritage and modern projects.

Glen began his bricklaying apprenticeship in 1979 at the iconic Guinness Brewery in north-west London, where he learned the foundations of precision, durability and high-standard workmanship. His skill quickly placed him in demand, leading to notable projects including a commissioned build at Holy Trinity Church, Knightsbridge — intricate overhanging brickwork and structural detailing designed to seamlessly match a centuries-old façade.

After emigrating to Australia in 2007, Glen continued to build his reputation through a mix of prestigious commissions and everyday domestic work, becoming a trusted name for brickwork across Geelong and surrounds.
