Join us for #MembersHour on 9 April with Rob MacKenna.
In an industry first, the UK’s three largest sawmillers – BSW Timber, James Jones & Sons, and Glennon Brothers joined forces in a landmark collaboration to promote the use of domestically grown and manufactured timber.
This #MembersHour will cover the background to how we got here, what we have planned for the coming 12 months, and the strength of a shared message to benefit the whole supply chain.
