Haddonstone, supplier of quality cast stone to the architectural, construction and garden industries, will celebrate 55 years in industry in 2026.  With the proven business continually developing, three new members have been added to the project and design teams.

Joe Blatchly has been appointed as Projects Administrator to support the commercial project team as a first stop for all types of enquiries from key customer sectors. He arrives directly from a role in market research where he supported business development and explains “From the first interview, I liked the welcoming atmosphere. I am confident that I will have opportunities to learn on the job.” 


Ben Hughes, Project Manager, comes from an estimating role in the sheet metal industry. “Looking for a new challenge to increase my existing skills and knowledge, I am now involved with CAD drawings on larger scale jobs, for example, along with the effective project management processes. Ben is looking to “work my way up in scale of projects and start dealing with even more complex ones and to possibly get involved in some 3D CAD.” 


Marco Van De Water, CAD Technician, assists project managers with the detailing of the stonework in CAD for orders and standardising the drawing process and filing systems. He has a useful pedigree in that he was technical manager for a developer, managing the planning and design of residential developments. He wanted to go back to working with bespoke, classical projects and used to specify Haddonstone! He is back to his roots. He adds, “I hope to be able to contribute my knowledge from both the architectural and development world to improve the standard of drawings to suit the clients’ needs, help streamline timescales and assist in growing the brand further.”
