“Our Woodkirk Yorkshire buff sandstone is a high quality and extremely versatile material that is used in all types of applications ranging from large-scale public projects over a number of years, to building material for commercial and residential properties down to bespoke fireplaces and other stone features,” says Ian.
And he should know what he is talking about, being a skilled sculptor and stone mason himself. “I’ve had a particular association with the quarry here in Morley since I was a four-year- old lad when my father worked here for many years and I did my apprenticeship here. So now, for me to return as Managing Director is a dream come true,” he continues. “Investing in our new EC750E is the way forward and part of our overall strategy to take the business to the next level. We are looking forward to the machine performing well for us in the future!” Calder Masonry Ltd has the sole rights to Woodkirk Stone and is honoured to follow in a proud tradition, extracting stone more than 175 years after the first block was pulled from the same location.
