LANCE VAUDIN

Expectations that Lance would pursue a career computer related, after leaving school, disappeared as he quickly established working in an office was not for him. Quite ironic as much of his day is glued to a laptop these days.

After getting in to Stonemasonry a little by accident, be became self-employed very soon and then went into a partnership for a while. In 1995 he decided he wanted to expand his stonework activities and formed Vaudin Stonemasons ltd under his ownership and management.

The company rapidly expanded in to many aspects of stonework and associated works. Guernsey Memorial Masons was established 5 years later and the supply of local and imported stone became a large part of what became the Vaudin Stone group.

A staunch Guenseyman and supporter of smaller businesses, his big flock of poultry keep him down to earth and his hands dirty!
