Aberdeen and granite are synonymous with one another. It was the economic bedrock on which the city was built – both figuratively and literally, as anyone who knows the city well would attest.

In the industry's heyday granite was exported across the world, taking Aberdonians with it and bringing new people to the city. It's at the heart of Aberdeen's history and is seen by many as a strong metaphor for what its people are about: resilience and a rock solid determination to succeed, combined with a certain charm and sparkle.

In the modern era, the Granite City has transformed into the energy capital of Europe.

At a time when this industry finds itself at a pivotal point, it's more important than ever to support Aberdeen, the city's vibrant business community and its people.
