“The quality of the quarry’s aggregates means we can be totally confident in our resultant product’s strength and durability”, Katherine Kates – Production Director at Haddonstone.
Leading cast stone manufacturer, Haddonstone, and mineral processing specialist, Longcliffe Calcium Carbonates, are not only close in location – Northamptonshire and Derbyshire respectively, the two organisations also mirror each other in terms of quality, sustainability and technical prowess so that high-end developers can incorporate the very best in UK cast stone creations for premium residential projects.
With over 50 years’ experience in designing and producing both standard and bespoke architectural stonework, Haddonstone focuses on residential and commercial developments, so it is crucial that its partners reflect complementary core values. All moulds and architectural components are handcrafted to order, in their Northamptonshire factory, by an experienced, established team; and rigorous control is maintained from start to finish – from the receipt of a technical drawing, or even a photograph, right through to safe delivery of a premium final product.
In turn, Longcliffe is one of the few independently owned industrial mineral processing companies in the UK which quarries over one million tonnes of top-quality carboniferous limestone (calcium carbonate) and dolomitic limestone each year. Established more than 100 years ago, the company is committed to operating sustainably and has a goal to be carbon neutral by 2030. The quarry also implements high standards in the control of energy usage, and implements initiatives so that surrounding nature is protected, and reinstated.
Haddonstone’s Production Director, Katherine Kates, explains, “There is a host of reasons why we work with Longcliffe. The quality of the quarry’s aggregates means we can be totally confident in our resultant product’s strength and durability. We can also assure discerning customers that we have adhered to stringent standards and environmental considerations in our supply chain; we can trace the whole local journey with Longcliffe”.
