About
The Team
The team, headed by Dick Newell, has an extensive knowledge of the needs of Swifts and the requirements of the construction industry.
The AfS S-Brick is the culmination of many years of research and experience aimed at providing a simple, long-lasting and sustainable solution to reversing the decline of the endangered Swift.
Much of the experience behind the AfS S-Brick was gained through implementing many projects by Action for Swifts over the last 20 years.
