Affordable Granite & Marble, who have developed a successful stone supply business in Matlock, Derbyshire, have opened a second, 1,000m2 trade depot in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.

Affordable Granite & Marble’s aim is to supply top quality products at affordable prices. And while the philosophy is not unique, Proprietor Mark Holmes believes he has developed some unique ways of achieving it.
Most of Affordable Granite & Marble’s customers want black worktops, so the company buy the best at advantageous prices by dealing exclusively with two family businesses in India who have their own Galaxy quarries and who do not supply anyone else in the UK.
“We do get an advantageous price but that’s partly because we buy two containers a week from them. It’s worked well for both of us,” says Mark Holmes.
“They have the best black in the world,” he says. And he knows about stone, having been the Production Director of Stancliffe before the quarry company was sold to Marshalls in 2001.
AGM also buy directly from China and Brazil, and have independent representatives in both countries to ensure they receive good quality materials.
