Innovate UK Business Growth is a national initiative designed to support ambitious companies with the potential to scale. Our teams will now work directly with specialist innovation and growth advisers to strengthen our strategic planning, accelerate product development and expand into new markets.
What this means for Cornerstone
We’re proud to have joined the Innovate UK Business Growth programme, which will support the next phase of our mission to redefine lime-based products to better meet the complexities of the industry.
We’ve always believed that a one-size-fits-all approach is a fundamental issue in our industry, and we have seen firsthand why this falls short. We know better outcomes come from transparency, embracing complexity, and developing solutions that deliver real value, not just bottom-line profits.
With every step forward, we remain committed to ensuring our products are accessible, efficient, and consistent in performance.
“While lime has been used for centuries, but we know the future lies in innovation. Now more than ever, we are ambitious about what we can achieve alongside Innovate UK, our partners, and our clients.”
ADAM BROWN, COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR
More about the program
Participation in the programme provides access to expert guidance on innovation strategy, investment readiness, intellectual property, and international market opportunities. This support will play a key role in helping us to build on our technical leadership in lime‑based materials and continue developing solutions that improve building performance, sustainability, and long‑term durability across the construction sector.
“Innovate UK Business Growth has supported thousands of companies. Our acceptance into the programme recognises our focus on delivering a long‑term growth strategy, accelerating our product development, expanding our technical capabilities, and new market opportunities.”
Tim Yorke-Dunne, Business Development Manager
We look forward to this important step in our continued commitment to raising standards and driving innovation in manufacturing sustainable, high‑performance building materials.
