SR Timber has moved into new, larger premises in North Nottinghamshire as part of ambitious growth plans.
The company had previously shared offices with a sister company in Derby, but the move to its own premises in Huthwaite heralds the next phase of the company’s remarkable growth.
Trading Director Shaun Revill said the team at SR Timber are all excited about the move to a new head office because the company has more room, more facilities and more scope as it plans the next steps, which are focused on increasing market share in its existing product sectors, as well as carving new niches for itself with new products.
“The move to new premises marks the start of another exciting chapter for SR Timber in a story that is all the more remarkable as the business was only founded a little over 10 years ago,” said Shaun.
“There is genuine excitement amongst the team over the move, and we have all taken a few moments to savour the feeling because it highlights just how far this business has come in such a short space of time.
“It’s no exaggeration to say that SR Timber has really bucked the trend in our industry, but we are simply giving roofers what they want — the right timber products at the right quality and at the right price. And that’s why we have grown so rapidly.”
The company believes the cornerstone to its growth has been the fact that it has been at the forefront on raising standards on the quality, performance and durability of timber roofing batten — best exemplified with the introduction of BS5534, the recent new regulations on roofing.
Sales of SR Timber’s Premium Gold batten continue to increase because it is sustainably sourced from slow-grown timber and is fully compliant to both BS8417:2011 + A1:2014 and BS5534:2014. Premium Gold is approved by the NFRC and NHBC and comes with a 60-year warranty against insect attack and wood-rotting fungi (when installed above DPC level in buildings).
Reflecting on the move, Shaun added: “The new HQ is another piece in the jigsaw for our business, which, because of our partnership with Timberex, means we effectively have our own sawmill.
“This gives SR Timber complete continuity through our entire supply chain, and that is a good thing for all the roofers in the UK that rely on the constant supply of our flagship Premium Gold timber roofing batten used on roofs right across the UK.”
