We are now a Knauf UK & Ireland drywall stockist!

Following feedback from our customers we have opted to start stocking Knauf plasterboard products with the first load arriving this morning.

This also means we can now offer a 9.5mm board, adding further depth to our range and a product you have been asking for.

Meet the team: Jack Tidd - ‘The Apprentice’ - Yard Supervisor and Employee number 1 here at Forge Timber and Building supplies.

Jack joined at the very beginning, showing huge courage to join a start-up business and demonstrates attributes daily that continue to help shape a culture at Forge which is steeped in offering un-rivalled service and being a true trade partner to the customers we serve. 8 months in, Jack now has a small team to manage and it would be easy to forget how challenging this journey has been, it certainly wouldn’t have been possible without Jack’s input.

Jack’s cheeky nature makes him a customer favourite and his previous experience working within sales means no opportunity is missed to ensure we secure every order and go the extra mile when a customer enquiry is concerned. Jack’s experience has allowed Forge to grow its team bringing in individuals with great attitudes from outside the merchant industry and train them on the products and processes of our business - No hiding in the sheds or customers loading themselves here!

We asked Jack what the future holds for him and Forge –

“Firstly I would like to thank Tom & Craig for giving me this opportunity to work in their business and help drive this company forward every day as I know Forge is their lifelong ambition. I would also like to thank Tony as he has shared his invaluable knowledge and experience with me helping me grow in this industry. And also the yard team, Martin, Andrew and Andy who work just as hard as myself to push Forge to the top!

Forge is now a big part of my life and I wish to grow with the company alongside this great team showing the industry how merchanting really is done. Growing into different roles within the business is my aim to really round off my understanding of merchanting and with this team around me I have no doubts that this will be achieved.

Watch out Tom and Craig, I’m coming for your desks!

Team Forge all the way 💪”

We look forward to continuing watch Jack grow with Forge.
