With growing customer demand for engineering services, Martin has been promoted to lead the division from the Newport site. His day-to-day management of the branch – working closely with yard staff along with both the office and sales teams – will help ensure lead times are kept to a minimum and customer satisfaction remains a top priority.

Martin has also played a key role in the development of the newly launched timber engineering facility at Duchy Timber in Cornwall, as the business expands its reach across South Wales and the West. Both engineering sites focus on the design and off-site manufacture of roof truss and floor joist solutions.

Speaking about his new role, Martin said: “I’m thoroughly enjoying my time at Mon Timber and am pleased to be promoted to a leadership role where I can continue to enhance our exceptional engineering service for customers. In fact, our lead times have already improved, and we’re now achieving project turnarounds of just one week.

“I’m looking forward to continuing the division’s fantastic growth and ensuring that Mon Timber Engineering is front of mind for customers on every project they’re working on.”

Terry Edgell, Co-Founder and CEO at Premier Forest Products, added: “We’re delighted to have Martin at the helm of the engineering division at Mon Timber Newport. Since joining us last year, his expertise has been invaluable, making him the natural choice for the role. I’m excited to see his vision unfold as he continues to enhance our service and support for customers.”
