Pennine Stone to contribute to local business community by becoming Patron Member of Doncaster

Pennine Stone, which supplies cast stone to the house building and construction sectors, has marked its fifteenth anniversary by becoming a Patron member of Doncaster Chamber.

Richard Walsh, managing director of Pennine Stone Ltd, said: “We are becoming Patron members of Doncaster Chamber because we feel it’s important for a Carcroft employer of 108 mainly local people to be involved in the local business community and to contribute in some way towards the great work that the Chamber does around promoting local business, local education and local issues.”

As patron members, Pennine Stone will have more opportunities to attend business leadership events, influence policy, and support the Doncaster Skills Academy with bridging the gap between skills and education and the world of work.

The manufacturer joins 18 other Patron members spanning a range of sectors from the local business community, including Doncaster Sheffield Airport and Polypipe.

For the past 15 years, the company has been operating from its Carcroft site where it manufactures Cast Stone products.

Pennine Stone was formed in 2002 as part of the Haddonstone group and is one of only eleven manufacturers in the world to receive ‘Full Member’ status from the Glass Reinforced Concrete Association for its range of innovative GRC products.
