with a previous Monumental Mason for 8 years before he decided to
stat up on his own. Cameron received help and assistance from the
Business Incubator and started trading in July 2002. Warrens
Memorials is a growing at a considerable rate and is a valuable asset
to the Craigmillar area. In July 2004 Cameron Warren was
awarded with The Graham
Cunningham Memorial Award 2004, and prize-money of £2000 at the
Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce AGM held on 2nd July 2004. The award
recognises and celebrates the business achievements of a young
business started by a resident of one of Edinburgh’s Social Inclusion
Partnership (SIP) areas. Cameron fended off competition from
businesses across Edinburgh to be selected as the overall winner.
The judges of the
competition said ‘We are extremely impressed at the level of
determination and commitment Cameron has shown in building this
business. He has worked incredibly hard to take the business from a
small, home-based operation to a growing business with ideal premises
situated in Seafield Cemetery.’
