Our story
Built on passion, precision and the love of stone.
Amaris tells a story in two languages. In Amanda and Chris Jackson's names, it's a reflection of their partnership. In Latin, from the word amar — to love — it means beloved, or you will love. That's the heartbeat of everything we do: love of stone, love of craftsmanship, love of our customers.
Meet the team
Founders. Craftspeople. Your partners in transformation.
Chris brings technical mastery and an obsession with precision. Every stone is selected with care. Every edge is finished by hand. His philosophy: quality is never negotiable. His impact: 20+ years of perfect installations.
Amanda ensures every customer feels heard and valued. From first conversation to installation day, her attention transforms a transaction into a relationship. She believes your kitchen deserves more than products — it deserves partnership.
"Together, Chris and Amanda created something rare: a business where family values, expert craftsmanship, and customer care are inseparable. Amaris isn't just their company — it's their legacy."
Craftsmanship as a lifetime calling
Stone craftsmanship as a lifetime calling.
Nando's story with stone began at age 12 in Nazaré, Portugal, working during school holidays. By the time he served in the Portuguese military, stone work wasn't just a trade — it was his identity. Decades of hands-on expertise in fabrication and installation followed.
In 2012, Nando moved to Wales and joined Amaris. His reputation for exceptional precision, attention to detail, and unwavering pride in every finished project made him an obvious choice for Director. Today, Nando represents the highest standard of European stone craftsmanship applied to every Amaris project. Quality workmanship, beautiful execution, pride in the finished product — these are his non-negotiables.
"With a lifetime of stone experience and genuine passion for the trade, Nando delivers bespoke surfaces that combine beauty, durability, and expert craftsmanship for every customer."
