Well despite the snow and ice we are still managing to fabricate and fit first quality granite worktops for our customers. The cold weather has brought it’s challenges though. As with many companies last week we were short staffed as people couldn’t make it into work, in fact on Wednesday after the big snow fall no one managed to get in. Although the cold doesn’t affect the granite or quartz stone we have had problems of the slabs being frozen together and the forklift truck getting stuck in the snow. Also as we use a lot of water in the fabrication of granite and quartz worktops we had a few frozen pipes to deal with in the machines. Notwithstanding the problems the Shaw Stone team have pulled together to insure the minimum about of disruption to our valued customers.
