Alongside the release of Mine Report No. 121, which provides our block customers with the latest information on current and future block availability, stone ranges, technical resources and ordering information, we are pleased to share news of a significant investment that is expanding our slab offering and improving lead times for customers.
We have recently taken delivery of a new Street Crane at our Portland factory, a major investment that will transform the way we manage our slab stock.
Covering more than 1,000m² of stockyard space, the crane enables us to efficiently organise, handle and palletise a significantly larger volume of Portland Stone slabs. This investment is a key step in expanding our slab stockholding and improving availability for customers across the UK.
While many customers know us as a trusted supplier of Portland Stone block, we are now growing our range of stocked slabs and can offer a variety of sizes and finishes with exceptionally short turnaround times.
By increasing our stock levels and streamlining our handling processes, we can provide quicker access to high quality Portland Stone, helping architects, contractors, stonemasons and fabricators meet demanding project schedules.
Our ambition is to create one of the most accessible Portland Stone slab stock programmes in the industry. As stock levels continue to grow, customers will increasingly be able to browse available materials and purchase directly through our website, making the process of sourcing Portland Stone simpler and more convenient than ever.
This latest investment reinforces our commitment to providing market leading service, competitive pricing and reliable delivery, ensuring customers can access the materials they need, when they need them.
If you would like to discuss current slab availability or an upcoming project, please contact our sales team.
Albion Stone, a fourth generation family business pride ourselves on having a helpful and skilled workforce as well as modern and traditional manufacturing process to enable us to produce the highest quality Portland Stone with minimal environmental impact.
