At Duffield Timber, we believe in excellence from forest to finish. This means a steadfast commitment to consistently delivering superior wood that guarantees long-term value for our customers.
This high standard is built on decades of industry knowledge and strong relationships with trusted suppliers from around the world.
With a focus on rigorous quality control and sustainable sourcing, we ensure that every piece of timber not only meets but exceeds expectations for durability, performance, and appearance, adding value to every project for the long term.
In our commitment to sourcing the finest materials, our recent journey into the heart of the Congo exemplifies the lengths to which we go in finding the right suppliers.
Closer to home, we are delighted to highlight three of our esteemed European suppliers with whom we are proud to partner:
