working alongside the rest of the
timber industry and government
partners to ensure these
ambitions become reality.
BSW Group markets 35 million
saplings annually through
Maelor Forest Nurseries, has
planted a billion trees through
Tilhill Forestry, produces
sustainably-sourced British
timber products through its
many manufacturing sites,
and ensures the collection and
reuse of timber pallets through
Scott Pallets, with The Pallet

These di昀昀erent interactions
with the entire timber supply
chain o昀昀er a unique, holistic
insight into the market dynamics
of our industry, which we can
positively impact through our
operations.
The timber industry is once
again at a pivotal moment.
As we face the challenges of
supply chain security and price
in昀氀ation as global demand
rises, it's crucial to look at the
bigger picture. Homegrown
timber o昀昀ers a sustainable and
reliable alternative that can
help mitigate these issues. By
prioritising British timber, we can
reduce our reliance on imports,
which often come with their
own set of uncertainties and
environmental concerns.
The increased use of
homegrown timber can have
a positive ripple e昀昀ect on the
economy. It supports local
businesses, and creates jobs
and economic opportunities,
often in rural areas.
