With over 20 years of experience in the timber industry, I’ve worked across every stage of the trade — from sales and purchasing to management. Over the years, I’ve seen millions of pounds worth of timber move from mill to merchant to end user.
Technology has advanced rapidly, especially with the rise of AI, but one thing hasn’t changed: for most people, timber is a big purchase — and often a confusing one. Reliable information is hard to find, and buyers are left with questions about quality, sustainability, lifespan, aftercare, price, and trust in their supplier.
That’s where The Timber Guide comes in.
I created this platform to bridge the gap between expert knowledge and real-world decision making. Whether you’re:
-
Planning a self-build
-
Working on a small or large development
-
Starting a new hobby project
-
Or running a trade business and looking for an expert edge
…I’m here to help you make informed choices about timber. From understanding finishes and carbon footprints to ensuring fair pricing and delivery, The Timber Guide is your trusted partner in getting it right the first time.
With decades of industry insight, my goal is simple: to give you the knowledge and confidence to choose timber wisely.
