Profile Brick and Tile has been operating since 1997 under the directorship of Derick Conlon and Russell Rous. Derick was working as Marketing and Sales Manager at Stutt Brick, and Russell as a Technical Representative for Corobrik. They identified a gap in the market with regards to the sale and distribution of building supplies, and formed their own agency of Profile Brick and Tile. Their clients from their former positions at Stutt Brick and Corobrik respectively, moved over to Profile Brick and Tile with them to support them in their new venture.

In 1999, after moving from premises in Vincent Road to Balfour Road in East London, they decided to open the Depot in Summerpride and have been there ever since! The Depot also offers a Showroom displaying the exclusive tile ranges which are now available from Profile Brick and Tile.

October 2003 saw the inauguration of 3 additional shareholder members to the management of Profile Brick & Tile, namely Ivan Thentye, Harland Conlon and Travis Conlon. We were also pleased to add Taryn Miller, who has been with Profile since the beginning 13 years ago, as a Shareholder in 2006 and now forms part of the management team.

The company employs 3 sales people.  Neville Miller and Ayanda Geza are responsible for the brick sales department and Mandy Hough is responsible for the tiling division.  The admin department consists of Jackie Opperman, Jenny Drake and Siya Ngxoweni.  The transport division is headed up by brothers Dwayne and Daniel O'Neill and we have a full yard staff complement to assist in packing up and loading orders for collection or delivery.

In 2007, Profile Brick and Tile celebrated our 10 year anniversary, and we would like to thank all of those who have contributed toward our success, including our loyal customers and our top quality brick and tile suppliers.

2010 brought with it many challenges for our company.  Besides the obvious worldwide recession that hit the construction industry particularly hard, unfortunately we had to say goodbye to the aforementioned Thembelani (Ivan) Thentye as he passed away in June.  His passing has left a huge void in the Profile family and we will miss him a lot.
