this family run business was established 20 years ago and was re-formed in 2009 after a succesfull re-structure to the business model, which separated the manufacturing operation in turkey, from a new stand alone importer and distributor of natural stone products. The company now operates from a highly prominent site in west yorkshire on a busy ring road with a huge amount of daily traffic passing their highly prominent warehouse and showroom. The company imports directly from the manufacturers and quarries and distributes natural stone products such as limestone and marble, mainly used in kitchens and bathrooms. They have an exclusive agreement with a number of their suppliers on a range of high quality products, with a database of circa 90 regular repeat customers including, designers, architects, developers, trade showrooms, tile showrooms, builders and tile fitters around the uk, some of which have been trading with the original company for a number of years. The company also sells other tiling products such as compounds, adhesives, protective chemicals and backer boards. Recently the company has opened a new showroom on their premises for sales directly to the public. Allready this is proving to be popular and profitable. The high numbers of daily traffic are helping the company to benefit from the increased margins on these additional direct sales.
