The event was hosted in the magnificent Roca Gallery, an outstanding space designed by Zaha Hadid Architects in Chelsea, and was the perfect occasion for gathering some relevant companies within the construction, interior design and architectural sector.<\/p>\n

On this occasion, our Foreign Trade Manager, Abel Plasencia, gave a warm welcome to the attendees on behalf of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Great Britain and introduced the four speakers of the morning: Mr. Jos\u00e9 \u00c1ngel Lorenzo, Managing Director at the Granite Cluster Association; Pablo Men\u00e9ndez, architect and co-founder of MAM Architects; Igor Russo, associate at Flanagan Lawrence and David Bromell, Manager at the Roca London Gallery<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

To kick off, Mr. Lorenzo gave a\u00a0brief summary about the many possibilities of granite as a construction material. In this regard, he highlighted its quality control assurance and named the Galician granite as the \u201cbest in the world\u201d.<\/p>\n
