Richard's just come back from a flying visit to Egypt to catch up with our factory partners.
There was plenty to see and discuss in the 48 hours he was there... Reviewing bespoke orders, looking at new natural stone ranges, and exploring different finishes and manufacturing techniques. It's always useful to spend time at the factory, see what's happening and talk through ways we can keep improving what we do for our clients.
And of course, it wasn't all work! These visits are also a chance to really catch up properly and strengthen relationships, whilst enjoying some fantastic Egyptian hospitality, family conversations and some seriously good food.
At Arbour, we like to stay involved throughout the process, and spending time with the people behind the stone is a huge part of that. It's an opportunity to share ideas, work through the finer details and make sure everything is heading in the right direction long before the stone arrives in the UK.
A big thank you to our Egyptian partners for all of their hard work and support.
