Momentum is growing for London\'s premier stone exhibition, the Natural Stone Show 2004, the sixth in the series, to be staged at ExCeL 9-11 March 2004.

The names of the exhibitors are already starting to look like a who\'s who of the stone industry - from Aedolfo Forti Marmi and Albion Stone Quarries to Bryan Waters Stone and Woodkirk Stone.

This professionally run show offers exhibitors the widest possible exposure through the pages of the UK industry\'s magazine, Natural Stone Specialist, as well as the show itself.

The exhibition attracts exhibitors covering the whole spectrum of the stone industry - UK and overseas producers and specialist stone contractors meeting with architects, designers and contractors; overseas suppliers wanting to break into the UK market; existing importers meeting new customers and specifiers; British companies wanting to sell overseas; international machinery and tool suppliers showing their latest developments to the trade.

The two-yearly Natural Stone Show is firmly established as the UK\'s top event for the whole of the industry and its customers. It is supported by the representative organisations of both the trade and professionals and receives full coverage in the UK industry\'s magazine, Natural Stone Specialist, to maximise exposure of exhibitors to the market.

Stone Federation Great Britain have their \'Stone Village\' as a central attraction of the show, with members showing their goods and services and Federation members on hand to answer technical questions.

Stone Federation are also involved in the Show\'s accompanying lecture programme, which covers many of the issues involved in the use of stone for new build and conservation. Stone Federation are running two of their popular Stone in the City seminars as part of the programme.

Professional bodies from the stone industry\'s customers, such as the Royal Institute of British Architects, English Heritage and Historic Scotland, are also closely involved.
