STOCKING TIMBER
Committing to sustainability
Eva Timber only sources timber
from FSC or PEFC-certi昀椀ed
sustainable forests, ensuring
that every product upholds
the highest environmental
standards. Each shipment
undergoes rigorous quality
inspections, maintaining the
integrity of their supply chain
and the satisfaction of their
customers.
“We believe that sustainability
isn’t just a buzzword – it’s a
responsibility,” David says. “Our
sourcing o昀케ce in Riga gives us
a unique advantage. Our team
speaks the local languages,
understands the culture,
and builds relationships with
suppliers most UK companies
would never even think to visit.
This results in better sourcing
and more innovative solutions
for our clients.”

As the timber industry faces
evolving challenges – from
post-Covid market shifts to
the geopolitical impact of

as homeowners invest in
outdoor upgrades and sees
the importance of timber
engineering in maximising
material e昀케ciency.
“The industry is delicately
balanced right now,”
David observes. “Supply
constraints, rising demand
and environmental factors
are all playing a role. By
investing in engineered timber
and innovative sourcing
strategies, we’re ensuring that
our customers stay ahead of
the curve, despite the current
increase in demand, albeit small,
putting a strain on the industry's
timber supply.
"There could be a perfect
storm; if demand in the US and
Europe picks up, demand could
easily outstrip supply again.
And another unforeseen world
event could upset the industry's
delicate balance."
Despite its relatively young
age, Eva Timber’s blend of
experience, adaptability, and
dedication has positioned it as
a rising star in the UK timber
market. Through innovative
services like Eva Direct, a
comprehensive product range,
and a steadfast commitment
to sustainability, the company
is not just meeting industry
demands – it’s shaping the
future of timber supply.
David concludes: "We're
a young company but we
have experience on our side;
we're energetic and we want
to be part of our customers'
businesses."
