SR Timber is celebrating 20 years in business this year.
Shaun Revill, the current trading director and the “SR” in SR Timber, co-founded the company in 2005.
Shaun started in the roofing business on the tools working for his late father, a third generation slater and tiler. He expanded his knowledge of the industry and learnt about timber production and distribution by working for a Swedish timber exporter that specialised in the production, sales and distribution of roofing batten.
Following a spell as a timber agent, he partnered with a UK roofing contractor at the time to establish SR Timber. The business was formed along with its sister business, a Latvian timber sawmill.
SR Timber said it currently employs nine staff, nearly half of which are female in what has traditionally been a male-dominated industry. All the management and sales staff are independently qualified batten graders, it noted.
Its offices are based in Huthwaite, North Nottinghamshire, and they have a sizeable import terminal at Immingham, where they stock the company’s trademarked brand of PREMIUM GOLD BS5534 graded batten. Thousands of cubic meters of SR Timber’s PREMIUM GOLD batten are delivered into and out of their Immingham terminal each month, it is consistently arriving from Latvia and is produced by the company’s long-standing sole partnership sawmill.
Over the years SR Timber has expanded its timber product range to include various roofing timbers.
The business is planning a number of celebratory activities over the year to mark this achievement.
