Stone on top of the world with new deals
High level conservation and maintenance specialists, Stone Technical Services, have secured an ongoing partnership with one of the UK’s most prominent conservation companies.
Stone is working with Clivedon Conservation, which is the dedicated conservation company for the National Trust, on a variety of projects. This partnership will provide a number of new contracts for Stone who are experts in the field of the restoration of ancient and historic buildings
One of the company’s most recent projects is on Windsor Parish Church. Stone has been working with Clivedon to complete a conservation survey, safety works to remove damaged masonry from the church tower and a preliminary survey on the church’s iron cramp.
Windsor Parish Church, dedicated to St John the Baptist, dates back to the 1800s and is famous for being home to the Last Supper painting.
Stone Technical Services now employs a team of 26 at its headquarters in Darlington and also at its offices in Middlesex. The company plans to continually grow its workforce and open new regional offices throughout 2010.
Stone specialises in all aspects of high level maintenance, lightning conductor installation and steeplejack services as well as restoration and masonry refurbishment projects on churches, museums, clock towers, castles, spires and historic buildings.
The company works all over the UK on a variety of high profile buildings such as St Paul’s Cathedral and Westminster Abbey in London and for organisations such as English Heritage and the National Trust as well as for well known industrial clients such as INEOS Plant Utilities and Teesside Power Station.
Managing director, Dave Stone said: “This partnership with Clivedon is very important for our growth as it gives us access to some exciting new projects. It’s especially good news for our southern office as many of the contracts are in this region, where we are developing a strong reputation. This, in turn, allows us to continually invest in our workforce in Darlington and, hopefully, in other areas of the country.”
