Stone Federation Great Britain

Our recent quarry visit reminded us again of the rich beauty and benefits of locally sourced, indigenous stone. With focus on sustainable procurement, our material selection service enables us to procure the best materials to meet each individual project’s needs. By selecting indigenous natural stone, we can support regional economies and wider employment in our industry. We have an excellent resource of building stone in the UK and we will do all we can to enhance the use of our high-quality materials. As an international team, we can also source natural stone from across the globe, engaging with suppliers, and ensuring we deliver the best sustainable materials to suit each project. #stonewest #materialselection #sustainableprocurement #naturalstone

We are incredibly proud to announce that DBR has been granted a Royal Warrant in recognition of our longstanding commitment to historic building conservation for the Royal Household. DBR was among the first Royal Warrant holders appointed by King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Our team of skilled craftspeople and project managers has had the privilege of working on some of the UK’s most treasured landmarks, including Buckingham Palace and the restoration of the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben). As a Royal Warrant holder, we now have the honour of displaying the Royal Arms, a symbol of our dedication to the highest standards of craftsmanship in heritage conservation. This announcement has also now been featured in The Construction Index and Construction Management by CIOB. DBR’s Executive Director Adrian Attwood said: “Receiving this Royal Warrant is more than an honour; it's a testament to the unwavering dedication, craftsmanship, and expertise of our entire team. We take immense pride in our role in preserving the UK’s built heritage – whether for the Royal Household, the Palace of Westminster, Blenheim Palace or any of the historic buildings we are privileged to work on. This recognition reinforces our commitment to excellence and our mission to protect and restore the nation’s landmark assets for future generations to cherish and enjoy." A huge thank you to our talented team and valued partners who have helped make this possible! #dbr #pasthasafuture #RoyalWarrant #HistoricBuildingConservation #Heritage #DBR #Craftsmanship #Sustainability The Construction Index: https://lnkd.in/eX4pjNN9 Construction Management: https://lnkd.in/eZ66hgqX
