Hello William

Whereabouts on the coast are you and what buisness are you in.

Maybe I'll catch you around sometime.

Hi George,

Yes please do pop into our showroom warehouse anytime. I have been in the stone game for over 20 years mainly overseas supply, and in 2001 started this company as was tired of the travel. I was the first person to go to Indonesia and export their marble many many years ago.

I have visited most of the stone expos, but with this site and technology rapidly expanding I think it is the best option, and exchanging of ideas how can we loose..?? lol

The trouble I am having is the or some of the product names they hace such as CA ..??? etc but am sure we will get through it.

I did try to start a stone associated here back in the 1980/s together with some of the old boys, but it did not happen so have been doing a lot of testing and R and D on my own.

Cheers

Will

Will we will be more than happy to explain things like ca, do to the fact that is one of those secret weapons that can be misunderstand and misused, we only discuses in the lower rooms with the other trade guys. I do believe you have access to the lower rooms, so please ask the question in the trade areas.

Guys,

My webpage is Real Granite Tops..... back to the course you can use my warehouse and facilities, I do think you will need to bring some produt over that we may not have available here..?

I will have another 3 to 4 people who will attend one from West Australia ( I got him into the game and he now dominates the West Coast )

I am more than passionate about REAL GRANITE.. is in my veins. I do think WE as a group need to join forces worl wide to protect our industry and show why it is the best product around, we have all seen the man mades come and go before.

They are dominating here in Australia as they have the dollars to marker aggressively yet how can an inferior product do this..?? they are putting REAL GRANITE down as I have had many clients tell me this, I do convince 99% that do come into my showroom by actually showing them not just TALK !!!

My main strength is marketing, I do have the gift of the gab..lol but speak only the TRUTH.. yet am dissappointed at the number of granite companies now doing 80% man made products... they have to as it is being specified and they need to make a living..??

It is a major problem here in Australia and one that ONE man can not solve..!!!

The time is right for a course, as I am working on a NATIONAL Group getting involved with me, they have the infastructure and the dollars in place, to win back the market to REAL GRANITE.

The LINK..Real Granite Tops

Cheers

Will

Will, we need more people like you in the NSRA.

I like this part of your site

Quote:

We sell - Real Granite !

Granite has been used in the worlds best kitchens for centuries. There are food preparation areas in Rome which date back thousands of years that are made of granite. It has traditionally been the ultimate mark of style and elegance in kitchens.

Highly heat resistant - Granite is made beneath the earths surface at thouands of degrees in temperature, so the odd hot pan is unlikely to do any damage.....

Highly Scratch Resistant - The only natural product that is harder or tougher than Real Granite is diamonds

Stain Resistant - Especially once protected with a quality sealer.

Fade Resistant - Granite can be used in outdoor areas without fear of fading. It is generally not affected by UV rays, hence it is chosen for use in many outdoor applications such as buildings, headstones, etc...

Non Bacteria Harbouring - a scientific study in the USA found Granite was second only to stainless steel in its cleanliness for food preparation areas.

Timeless - Granite will never go out of fashion - it has always represented style and quality and always will.

I think you need one more link on your site.
Ask the expert and have it link back to this forum. this way we can help out as much as we can.
