Celebrating 1 year of Charlie at Stone Initiatives 🎉

Charlie has become a highly valued member of the team, consistently bringing dedication, strong work ethic, and a positive attitude to everything he does.

Over the past year, he’s made a significant contribution within the physical testing department as well as building his expertise in slip testing and more complex testing methods. It’s been a big year of hands-on development across a wide range of projects, and he’s only just getting started.

Precision in every cut.

Wet cutting plays a critical role in preparing stone samples by reducing heat, minimising dust and preserving the integrity of the material before testing begins.

Last month marked one year since we stepped into ownership of Stone Initiatives, following Jim's retirement.

Over the past year, we’ve had the privilege of continuing the legacy that Jim built, while guiding the business into it's next chapter. It has been a year of learning, growth and development, from expanding our testing capabilities and refining our services, to continuing to support the industry and clients that have trusted Stone Initiatives for many years.

We are incredibly proud of what the team has achieved over the past 12 months, and we’re excited about the direction the business is heading. None of it would be possible without the support of our staff, clients and industry partners who have backed us throughout this transition.

We’re grateful to be able to lead this next chapter together and look forward to continuing to grow and develop Stone Initiatives in the years ahead.

- Kate, Tom & Mark

MYTH BUSTED...

"Sealing your flooring makes it non-slip"... not quite. Sealers protect against staining, they don’t create grip.

A quick test can save you from many hidden surprises.
