Specialist natural stone suppliers CED in Grays, Essex, have appointed their first Approved Stockists and Distributors. They are Carrhouse Natural Stone Garden Products in the North East.

Carrhouse have been given exclusive rights to stock and resell many of CED\'s products in Northumberland, County Durham, Tyneside and Teesside.

Martin and Michael Boyle, who also operate a timber building manufacturing business in the region, own the company based in Leadgate, near Consett.

CED currently operate from four sites across the country at West Thurrock, West Drayton, Langley Mill and Castlecary. They believe that this new agreement, as well as increasing the availability of their products in the North East, will also provide a model for future similar agreements in other parts of the country.
