Stone
AI Automation & Bespoke Software in Stone
Stone is a canal town with serious commercial ambition. The Trent and Mersey Canal brought industry here in the 18th century, and that enterprising spirit still runs through the businesses lining Granville Terrace, the High Street, and Stone Business Park off the A34. Craft breweries like Lymestone and Blythe wrestle with taproom bookings, wholesale order fulfilment, and multi-channel stock control across cask, keg, and bottle. Distribution firms along the Trent Valley corridor dispatch across the Midlands but still coordinate loads over phone calls and paper manifests. Professional services practices on the High Street lose billable hours to client onboarding paperwork. Estate agents and lettings firms juggle property listings across Rightmove, Zoopla, and their own websites without any automated sync, leading to double bookings and stale listings that damage credibility with landlords. We build AI systems and bespoke software that solve these exact problems. automated stock reconciliation for breweries managing cask tracking and duty returns, intelligent dispatch scheduling for hauliers, client intake workflows that cut onboarding from days to minutes, and property listing management tools that keep every portal in sync from a single update. Stone businesses value quality and relationships. our job is to remove the admin that gets in the way of both.

Learn moreAbout Stone
Stone is a compact market town straddling the Trent and Mersey Canal midway between Stafford and Stoke-on-Trent. Its brewing heritage stretches back centuries, and today the town supports several independent craft breweries whose taprooms anchor a lively High Street food and drink scene. Granville Terrace and the Joules brewery complex have become focal points for independent retail and hospitality investment. Stone Business Park, accessed from the A34, hosts logistics operators, light manufacturers, and professional services firms who benefit from quick access to the M6 at Junction 15. The town's canal basin draws narrowboat tourism year-round, supporting a cluster of marina operators, chandleries, and waterside cafes. The Westbridge Park leisure complex and Alleyne's Academy add to Stone's appeal as a self-contained town rather than a dormitory suburb. Recent housing developments on the northern edge have brought new residents and increased demand for local professional services, from solicitors handling conveyancing to financial advisers managing pension transfers. The town also benefits from proximity to Stafford Technology Park and the defence sector employers around Beaconside, meaning a significant proportion of Stone residents work in engineering, defence, and public administration. Transport links are straightforward: the A34 runs directly through the town connecting it to both Stafford and Stoke-on-Trent, and Stone railway station provides regular services to Stafford, Stoke, and connections to the West Coast Main Line. Economically, Stone punches above its weight as a commuter base for Stafford county council workers and professionals employed across the Potteries, with house prices and connectivity making it increasingly attractive to entrepreneurs relocating out of larger urban centres.
