The UK economy is growing at a faster rate than anywhere else in the developed world, with construction contributing to that growth. According to Government figures, the construction industry in the UK is currently worth £112.6billion a year and has been forecast to grow by 10.5% between 2014 and 2017. The stone industry is worth about £1.4billion a year at the consumer end (you can read more about that here).

That is the economic background the Natural Stone Show 2015 is set against. And the East End of London where the Show is being held 28-30 April next year is a hotspot of development. In the next decade, Enterprise Zone status will help stimulate £5.4billion worth of new retail, commercial and residential development in the area – creating the largest construction region in Europe.

The Natural Stone Show is the only event dedicated to the stone industry in the UK and brings together many of the world’s leading stone producers and suppliers. It presents an ideal opportunity for wholesalers and stone processors, clients and specifiers to see what the world of stone has to offer them, giving exhibitors access to the UK and Ireland market for sourcing new projects, establishing distribution networks and selling to this vibrant sector of UK industry.

The 2014 Natural Stone Show is the 11th in the series. The Show is held every two years, giving exhibitors an unrivalled opportunity to pitch for new projects, present new products, find new distributors, network, raise the profile of their businesses and above all to win new customers.

If you sell natural or engineered stone, CNC machinery, diamond tooling, sealants, adhesives, cleaning materials or any other stone related products and services, this is the Show to be seen at.
