Welcome to this episode of Chatzzz, where we sit down with Brendan Donnelly, the Managing Director at Coniston Stonecraft Limited. Today, we will be discussing their slow-selling techniques and how they are trying to keep their eco-footprint as small as possible.

At Coniston Stonecraft, they supply a whole range of slate products to both the Domestic and Commercial Markets. They use locally quarried stone such as Westmorland Sea Green, Brathay Blue/Grey, or Baycliff Limestone. All made in Cumbria from Cumbrian slate by Cumbrian craftsmen in an ecologically sound way.

In their attempt to keep their eco-footprint as small as possible, they use hydroelectric power from the beck running by their workshops and cool their polishers and cutters using the same beck water rather than oil. 

The impact of COVID-19 was significant when Brendan took over Coniston Stonecraft, and he talks about the struggles they faced. He also shares his plan and vision moving forward.

During the interview, Brendan discusses his previous business ventures and jobs, including his time in a pub and the wine industry. He also talks about his time at university and playing rugby.
