Aster Sandstone, Daimoncho 2-7-15, Shrewsbury, SY1 3PG
Callum Ratcliffe started Aster Sandstone in 2014 after spending over a decade in quarry logistics, watching the same problem repeat itself on project after project. A contractor would specify a particular buff sandstone, receive a quote, and then find that the stone delivered bore only a passing resemblance to the sample. Colour variation, inconsistent bed thickness, and blocks with hidden fractures were common. The industry had normalised it. Callum had not.
