Why the shares have been a bit perkier recently (as well as the Banyan announcement)….
Taken from Rivaldo on ADVFN:
Nice comments from the CEO:

Extract:
"Gilbert told investors that deals with Banyan and Marmi E Graniti D'Italia (MGI), another new customer, will give Fox Marble a "solid start" in terms of 2015's revenues.
"We would expect further sales contracts to be completed early in the New Year and we look forward to updating the market"
Speaking to Proactive Investors Gilbert expanded on what a “seal of approval” the deal with Italy-based MGI is proving to be.
“We benefit from having MGI as a customer. They have never before sold marble from a quarry that is not Italian,” Gilbert said.
As with coffee, when it comes to marble, it pays to have an Italianate influence, and Fox Marble has been careful to cultivate that.
“People are now flying in to see us – even Italian companies. The idea of an Italian company flying to London to see us; that would never have happened a year ago,” Gilbert maintained, as he spoke of increased interest in the company’s product.
“The momentum is building, plus we are knee-deep in negotiations with China and India,” Gilbert said.
The shares reacted positively to the news and were trading 9.4% higher at 18.33p in mid-afternoon trading."
