Andrew Shutt

I’ve spent my career where architecture, materials and construction meet. I started out on the technical side and worked my way through specification, product development and regional leadership, covering everything from natural stone and cladding to hard‑landscaping and façade systems. These days I’m building the facades arm of CED Stone Group — shaping the range, putting the supply chain in place, and getting the products in front of the right people. It’s hands‑on, commercial, and rooted in the same thing that’s driven me throughout: clear information, honest conversations and products that actually solve problems on site. Before CED, I led sales teams across the north of England, growing turnover, developing people and managing key accounts across contractors, developers and merchants. I like building teams that know their markets, back their numbers and don’t shy away from the technical detail. Natural stone has been the thread through it all — not as something old‑fashioned, but as a modern, sustainable material that can hold its own against anything when it’s specified and supplied properly
