Press release 1 November 2022

aggregate sourced from the four corners of the British Isles.
This iconic architectural material, known for its Italian roots, comes to the UK made

Manchester. An opportunity to walk the British Isles.
The Ethical Stone Terrazzo, a first for the UK, has been developed with a factory in

be bringing the Ethical Stone Terrazzo to the market in the UK. It’s an innovative
product and we’re excited to be forging a new path in the British construction
