MG Marble and Granite, along with the world's press, watched closely as Francisco Martinez-Cosentino, the President of Silestone, introduced Fernando Alonso.

The F1 pilot has himself been the inspiration for the colours in the Platinum series which reflects the values associated with F1.

The exclusive series is composed of four metallic colours; Carbon, Steel, Chrome and Zirconium.

Fernando Alonso, not merely there just to attend, went on to prepare some traditional Spanish cuisine on a Silestone Kitchen Island for Spencer Neal, Director of MG Marble and Granite ltd and other guests and press invited from around Europe.

The Platinum series, along with the new Life and Zen series and their Microban properties are set to be the future of Quartz worktops. Currently in Spain, one in four worktops are Silestone.
