On Friday 12th July we hosted the first Stone Symposium: The Case for Stone which brought together 100 architects, designers, engineers, clients and natural stone suppliers.
This one-day conference explored the carbon-saving credentials of natural stone with a host of seminars, case studies and panel discussions.
Our programme featured some of the leading voices around natural stone’s sustainability credentials and prompted some engaging Q&A sessions with the audience. A big ‘thank you’ to our Stone Symposium speakers (shown below) and special guest interview, award-winning journalist, Luke Hanrahan.
Amin Taha (GROUPWORK), Tim Gledstone (Squire and Partners), Steve Webb (Webb Yates Engineers), Steve McKechnie (Arup), Juliet Haysom (Architectural Association, Natasha Huq (Groves Raines Architects Studios), Joe Chilvers (Adam Richards Architects), Niki-Marie Jansson (Newcastle University), Pierre Bidaud (The Stonemasonry Company ), Michael Poultney (Albion Stone ), Marcus Paine (Hutton Stone Co), Valérie Bergeron (Polycor), Peter Fisher (Bennetts Associates), Manuel dos Anjos (FMDC), Ryno Nel (Szerelmey) and Mark Walden (Szerelmey).
