🏆 ONE BRANCH. ONE TEAM. TWO NATIONAL AWARDS 🏆

We did it again.. We've just been named UK Small Timber Business of the Year at the TTJ Awards - FOR THE SECOND YEAR RUNNING 🥇

To put this into perspective, many names in our industry operate nationwide with several branches and 100+ employees.. We are just one yard in Essex and one small team of around 30 brilliant people 💚

Yet our independent, family-run business has stood out in an industry of more than 1000 timber businesses from all over the country and brought the trophy home to Essex two years running!

Winning once meant so much, but winning back-to-back shows that it wasn’t a one-off. It reflects the personal, friendly service, knowledge and commitment our team brings to our customers every day 🙏🏻

To our amazing team - this award belongs to all of you! Thank you for the pride, care and hard work you bring to the yard each day. We’re super lucky to have the team that we do and couldn’t be prouder 🥰

And to our wonderful customers - whether you’ve been with us for years or have only recently found us, thank you for supporting us and taking the time to vote. We wouldn’t have won without you!

From all of us, thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to everything we’ll continue to build together 🏆

The tools are down and his feet are up! Please join us in raising a glass to Steve as he begins his very well-earned retirement 💚

For the past 15 years, Steve has been a much-loved and highly valued member of the team, bringing skill and dedication to his role as one of our Wood Machinists - along with plenty of brilliant stories..

Thank you for everything you’ve done for the business Steve. We’re sad to see you go and you’ll be hugely missed by us all!

Cheers to your next chapter 🍻
