The official launch of the Scottish Stone Group took place yesterday at the Scottish Parliament, followed by a meeting with Paul Wheelhouse MSP, Minister for Business, Innovation and Energy. The founding members of the Scottish Stone Group are Denfind Stone, Hutton Stone and Tradstocks. The primary function of the group is to promote the use of indigenous natural stone and grow our industry.

St Bees Sandstone, sourced and processed by Denfind Stone, to meet the criteria for our client’s self-build project in the Glamis area. Denfind Stone now have a range of stone to offer our customers, whether it is to match the existing stone on an extension, to satisfy the conditions of the planning department, or just personal taste. Give us a call to discuss your stone requirements. Project designed by Robin Baker Architects.

We Won!! Delighted to announce that we won Family Business of the Year for Angus at the Courier Business Awards 2017.  It was a great night of the celebration of business in Angus and Tayside. Congratulations to all the winners on the night.

Gannochy Bridge in Angus is a Cat B listed bridge built circa 1724, crossing the River North Esk to the north of Edzell. We were recently approached by Kilmac who had been awarded the contract by Angus Council for essential repairs, to see if we could source and provide stone to match the project. We were able to provide a match, greatly reducing the lead in time for the contractor and as a result, the project was completed ahead of schedule. At Denfind Stone, we now source and process a wide variety of stone types and colours to meet all our clients requirements.

Denfind Stone is once again delighted to be shortlisted for the Courier Business Awards, this year for two awards, Family Business and Rural Business of the year.  

Within the past couple of months, Tayside Contracts and Land & Building Services completed the construction of a new road bridge in Caird Park in Dundee, to improve access ahead of work commencing on the new Regional Performance Centre for Sport. Denfind Stone worked closely with Land & Building to ensure the correct stone products were used in the construction. A concrete structure was assembled and Denfind Stone was clad onto the structure to give it a more natural finish.

Through the formation of the Scottish Stone Group, alongside Tradstocks and Hutton Stone, Denfind Stone has managed to secure it’s largest ever contract with the new flood defense wall currently being constructed along the Riverside in Dundee. Our local newspaper, the Courier, ran a feature on the story, highlighting the use of local businesses for local projects, and the additional employment of staff within our processing facility.  Click on the link for the full article.

Meet the new, larger Production Team at Denfind Stone!

Over the last year Denfind Stone has experienced further strong growth in the demand for its Angus sandstone leading to the recruitment of several additional members of staff.

The business has recently recruited 5 new members of staff principally to work in the production unit increasing the total workforce of the business to 17 staff, all local people!

Denfind Stone is currently mid way through an exciting and significant investment programme in new plant and machinery, including guillotines and saws to increase the production capacity and range of products which can be offered to our clients.

As well as quarrying and processing Angus sandstone from our quarry at Monikie the business is increasingly sourcing a range of other Scottish stones including granite, limestone and other sandstones to process and satisfy the broadening needs of our growing client base. As well as producing a range of cladding stones for residential and commercial projects Denfind can also supply walling stone and flagstones.

The environmental and economic benefits of buying local stone are clear to see.

At Denfind we are delighted to be providing a truly Scottish solution to the Scottish market and enabling the business to reinvest locally by employing more local workers.

At Denfind, we have been working closely with a local architect to source a red sandstone to meet the specific wishes of his clients for their new build project. Several loads of St Bee’s sandstone have recently been delivered to Denfind and is now being processed through our range of guillotines.  The stone will be delivered shortly to a site in Angus for the cladding of a new dwelling house. As a founding member of the Scottish Stone Group, Denfind Stone works closely with other leading Scottish stone companies allowing us to source and process a range of different stone types to meet a wide variety of requirements. So whatever your stone requirements, give us a call  and we will try and come up with a solution.  You can reach us on 01382 370220.    

At Denfind Stone we process high quality Scottish sandstone from our own quarry here in Monikie. Did you know that at Denfind Stone we also source and process a range of other quality Scottish stones from throughout the country to meet the specific needs of our clients.

Today we are delighted to have sent two full artic loads of Aberdeenshire granite which we have processed back to Aberdeen for cladding on a high profile project. Here are some images of the granite at different stages of the production process prior to the stone going back north. We will share some more images of the completed granite cladding once the project is finished.
