Stone Federation GB is the national trade association for the natural stone industry. It is an unincorporated association set up to represent its members and to set high standards and promote best practice and professionalism in the natural stone industry.
Executive
Stone Federation has an Executive which formulates the strategy for the Federation and meets three times per year. It is made up of the Officers and the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of each region and group/committee thus ensuring it covers all the regions and specialisms within the natural stone industry. The officers are elected (on a 2 year cycle) and form part of the Executive. All the representatives are elected at the AGM to ensure that the membership is able to reaffirm their appointments on a regular basis and that anyone wishing to put themselves forward for election has ample opportunity to do so.
