We’re delighted to announce that BSW Group has won the TDUK Sustainability Award 2025.

We’re proud to see BSW Timber working alongside James Jones & Sons, Glennon Brothers and Confor to help champion the use of UK C16 timber.

We are delighted to announce the establishment of a unique partnership with James Jones & Sons and Glennon Brothers, in conjunction with Confor, as we join forces to champion UK timber and reduce our reliance on imported materials.

In an industry first, the UK’s three largest sawmilling businesses have teamed up to promote the use of domestically grown and manufactured timber, through a landmark collaboration backed by Minister for Nature, Mary Creagh.

The Minister said: "Our Plan for Change is focussed on creating new, green jobs, planting more trees, increasing access to nature and reducing carbon emissions.

"We currently import 80% of the timber we use and that needs to change.

"Our Timber in Construction Roadmap and the C16 campaign will boost the use of British timber to help build the homes and schools we need faster and more sustainably."

Engineered timber is transforming the way we build.

The Guardian recently highlighted how a striking new university building in Arkansas, constructed using binderholz Glulam, could revolutionise architecture by putting timber at the centre of large-scale, sustainable design.

These innovative materials are now available in the UK through BSW Timber, as part of our Engineered Timber range.
