Based on the outskirts of Rutland The Stonemasonry Company Limited was founded in 2009 by partners Paul and Alex.

Our Team

Our growing team is managed by a number of key personnel. We have an experienced team of in-house designers who work closely with project architects, and our engineering partners to meticulously plan our work.

Alex, our CEO, oversees all areas of the business, from the office, to the workshop, and to all of our sites, ensuring that all projects are managed and produced to the highest possible standards.

Emma, our Finance Director, supports all of the teams within The Stonemasonry Company Limited ensuring the smooth running of the business.

Pierre, our knowledgeable and passionate Creative Director, supports our clients throughout the project initiation phase, helping our clients’ dreams become a reality. As one of our most experienced masons his knowledge is essential to our innovative approach.

Our lead designer, Jorge, manages our team of in-house designers and oversees all of our most complicated projects; he is always on hand to ensure that no detail is left to chance.

Adrian, our project manager, overseas all the site teams and plans all installation works, making sure that our teams work safely and complete their jobs on time, all the while considering our clients needs and making sure the end result reaches the high-standards people have come to expect from our team.

Alex S, our workshop manager, is responsible for our production operation, as well as all quality control and the training of new masons, making sure that each step is expertly shaped by hand, passing on our traditional methods to new masons. We are dedicated to supporting the future of stonemasonry, therefore our manufacturing and fitting teams often include apprentices as well as our more accomplished stonemasons from the world over.

Meanwhile Laurent, our Technical Manager, oversees our sawing operation and consults on our more complex projects as well as being integral to our research and development activities.

Paul passed away in 2019 after a short battle with cancer, he left behind a team that loved and respected him, and a legacy of hard work and determination. He was the engine that gave the company momentum, and his influence is sorely missed.

“The team at The Stonemasonry Company certainly knows about the WOW factor! They designed and created a remarkable elliptic staircase for us at Camp End Manor – it is the very heart of the house and its beauty captivates every visitor.

The staircase represents outstanding design and engineering, but doesn’t tell the story of its inception and delivery, which was carried out with conscientious charm.”

- Daniel Mateos, Werner Capital LLP

In the past, in order to help us understand the spaces and volumes of a bespoke project, we have been asked by clients to create stone models. In recent months, however, we have found that a more cost-effective method for our clients is to produce bespoke 3D models using our in-house 3D printer. If a model is requested our design team oversee the production of these lightweight scale models, which are much easier to transport and handle than their stone counterparts. These models are also useful for testing our design theories and for showcasing more complex details. We feel that it is this commitment to new technologies that sets The Stonemasonry Company Limited apart from other companies.

The Stonemasonry Company Limited’s expert Project Manager, Mr Pierre Bidaud, gives an insight into creativity in stone.

Through the seminar Pierre explains how the use of complex engineering calculations alongside knowledge of the ancient art of stonemasonry gives rise to totally new ways of working with stone.

The Stonemasonry Company Limited team enjoys working in close collaboration with Architects and engineers, building long term relationships to set new standards for beautiful stonework in the construction industry, these CPD’s are a great start to the collaborative process.

Pierre would be happy to visit your offices to discuss our works and the potential of stone, and, of course, he will bring lunch. 

“The Stonemasonry Company Limited’s CPD offers that rare combination of a genuinely interesting subject presented in an engaging way by the charismatic and knowledgeable Pierre Bidaud. We thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and subsequently were delighted to work with Pierre and his team”
