Entrepreneurial journey
Alison is a seasoned entrepreneur, after having helped to build up a successful company, encountering many roadblocks and learning valuable lessons along the way.
The Creative Stone Company, which she and her husband built up, is a manufacturer of premium simulated flagstones, cobbles and cladding products.
From humble beginnings on a field in 1998, The Creative Stone Company has evolved into a company of substance and stature in the simulated stone industry.
The company provides its clients with myriad product solutions for driveways, house surrounds, patios, pools, entertainment areas and fire pits. Its wide range comes in a variety of colours, textures and exclusive finishes, with pigments imported from across the globe, ensuring its clients get the finest quality products made to international standards.
While stone manufacturing sits at the heart of the company’s business, design is in its soul and brings the stones to life in the client’s space. Through comprehensive design consultations and detailed CAD drawings, The Creative Stone Company’s amazing team of experienced design consultants can give its clients holistic design solutions for any indoor or outdoor space.
Creative Stone is committed to sustainability. By using recycled materials, grey water in the manufacturing process and supplementing power consumption with the use of solar energy, the company is taking steps towards reducing its carbon footprint.
The company continues to win awards and add to its prestigious products – both in texture and colour – and strives to be a leader in the simulated stone industry.
