We speak to Chris Gilbert about how he changed tack from music to marble establishing the first marble supplier quoted on the London stock exchange.
What do you currently do?
I am CEO of Fox Marble Holdings plc, an AIM listed company, responsible to the board and our shareholders for the operation of the business and guiding the team that work for us.
I raised funds to establish Fox Marble in 2011, which is the only marble company listed on the London Stock Exchange. To date we have raised £13M.
My role apart from keeping shareholders, office colleagues, and quarry masters and workers in good spirits includes looking ahead to expanding Fox Marble’s capabilities and reach.
Last year we built our own processing factory in Kosovo, installed the most advanced Italian made machinery for cutting marble to size. A new trade showroom will shortly open in London.
