Garden paving specialists hail their recent exhibition as a success

London Stone, one of the country’s best known suppliers of natural stone paving, has hailed as a success their recent exhibition at the LANDSCAPE show in Battersea Park, revealing that the weekend provided them with inspiration by the bucket load.

The LANDSCAPE show is the UK’s number one trade event for all things landscape related. The annual event brings together contractors, landscaping professionals, facilities managers, architects, garden designers, interior designers, stone suppliers and more from the UK and even further afield.

This year the event was one of the biggest on record with over 150 stands, numerous seminars from industry experts and thousands of visitors from all corners of the country.

The London Stone team spent two days there with their very own stand, providing visitors with an in-depth look at their products and delivering the latest information on both soft and hard landscaping.

A spokesman who was in attendance for the event says that the occasion was an unforgettable opportunity to show the industry what they offer, sharing their knowledge with some of the best and brightest around.

“The event was nothing short of fantastic. The whole team had an enjoyable time and it was great to meet so many other passionate businesses and individuals. But not only that, it was also beneficial for us because we got an insight into what other professionals are doing and how they’re doing it, which has given us plenty of inspiration to better our already excellent services moving forward.”

The London Stone stand featured some of their bestselling materials, including travertine, granite, limestone, basalt and sandstone paving. And while they say that sawn Indian sandstone is the most popular material they sell, they say the popularity of Mongolian basalt amongst visitors was a pleasant surprise.

“We took with us many of our favourite garden paving materials and it was interesting to see how visitors received them compared to our usual customers,” explained a spokesman. Mongolian basalt was undoubtedly the biggest hit which was a little unexpected because our sawn Indian sandstone is usually the attention-grabber!”

As well as being a great opportunity to interact with prospective customers and other industry professionals, it was also a great chance for London Stone to catch up with many of their existing customers.

“In addition to lots of new faces, there were plenty of familiar ones about. We bumped into a number of customers and it was great to have a catch up with them.”
