Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. It’s always hard getting back into the swing of things after having a nice long break, but I’m excited about some of the new things we are launching here at Stone World in 2020.
For starters, you will notice we have a new columnist that will be contributing some helpful tips and insight into running a successful stone business each month. We are very happy to welcome Eric Tryon to our Stone World family. For those who are unfamiliar with Eric, he often presents at the Stone Industry Education workshops, which we partner with the Natural Stone Institute and are held all over the country throughout the year. Eric is a founder of the Rockheads and started his own fabrication business that he successfully grew to have four locations. He then sold the company and founded Clio Holdings, which he is a retired CEO. Eric was also named 2015 Fabricator of the Year. We are excited for Eric to share his knowledge and experiences with our readers through “Tryon’s Tips.”
