Women In Natural Stone Launches
Last week, the Landscape Show played host to the launch of an exciting new initiative for the natural stone sector: Women in Natural Stone.
WINS has been established to help provide mentoring, networking and support for women in the natural stone sector and those deciding on their career path.
The group has already hosted an early interest zoom meeting which gathered support from 20+ Stone Federation members. The launch of WINS at the Landscape Show was supported by a number of Stone Federation members, (Athena Stonecare, Cliveden Conservation, Stone Restoration Services, Szerelmey and Vetter) and Brunel University.
The response to the launch and the WINS stand at the Landscape Show was incredible, and in the space of a few days, the membership of the group more than doubled to over 50. The Federation would like to thank the WINS coordinator, Claire Wallbridge of StoneTrain, along with the representatives from Athena Stonecare and Szerelmey who helped run the stand at the Landscape Show.
