Established 28years ago and in the present location for 21 years, this business is a large independent timber merchants. The business has an established supply line of raw materials. Timber products are manufactured from wood sourced from sustainable forests producing wooden pallets, fencing, shavings and sawdust.

Contracts have been set up with major UK high street supermarkets and bags of firelighters are produced and distributed to these and other retail stores across the UK and Ireland .

With little local competition the business has developed an excellent reputation with clients. Nearly all timber is sourced from sustainable forests and conscious of the environment the business has sought ways to save energy and recycle with logs being used for firelighters, sawdust for poultry farmers and shavings for the equine sector.

With the structure already in place there is an opportunity to retail products to other markets such as bark for garden mulch and off cuts and chippings for the production of chipboard, which would certainly increase turnover.
