About Weldon Stone

Weldon Stone was founded in 1977 by father and son team Derrick and Peter Dunn at the Weldon Stone quarry near Corby in Northants and extracted the remaining rare and beautiful Weldon Stone whilst developing the stonemasonry side of the business.

Managing Director, Peter Dunn, trained as a master mason. He completed a four year apprenticeship in Cambridge with Rattee and Kett and furthered his training and experience in Venice with the School of European Building Conservation.

Assistant Manager, Jack Dunn, completed his apprenticeship with Weldon Stone after finishing college. He spent 8 years as a banker and fixer mason before working in the drawing office. And then graduating to the management team.

Malcolm Rees joined the company in 1983 as a stonemason, was promoted to Site Foreman and has worked in the drawing office since 2004. He offers a wealth of practical experience.

The collective experience of this management team enables Weldon Stone to provide:

• Reliable and competitive costings
• Professional advice to clients and architects
