This is worth your time.

London is one of the biggest consumers of timber in the UK yet almost none of it is being processed here.

We import over 80% of the timber we build with while we neglect our own domestic British supply.

We’re doing something different.
...
We’re bringing a mobile sawmill demonstration into London showing how timber can be processed closer to its final home using British grown timber.

📍Live demonstration
Real timber
Real conversion
No theory

If you’re interested in :
- Forestry & timber supply chains
- Sustainable construction
- Material sourcing
- Decentralised production
- Or just want to see how a tree becomes usable

This is worth your time.

Message from the founders of @nationalsawmillsuk

This is a strange position to be in.
We didn’t get here because we’re good at selling machines.
Truthfully, we’re not salesmen.

We enjoy milling timber, up and down the country in all conditions. The opportunity ...with @petersonsawmills came off the back of that. Not strategy decks. Not clever marketing.

You could call it ‘old fashioned business.’

Pick up the phone. Do what you’re say you’re going to do. Don’t disappear. We’re aware the history with Peterson in the UK has been… complicated.

There’s baggage there. Because of that, some of you think we’re just another flash in the pan.

We’re not going to try and talk our way around that. We’ll just get on with it.

Earning our stripes with you comes down to one thing - being the backup when you actually need it. When it’s pissing sideways, your fingers don’t work and there’s something wrong.

You ring.
We answer.
We sort it.
That’s it.

We’re not here to sell you something and disappear. We’re here because we use these machines ourselves and we know what it’s like when you’ve got no support behind you.

That’s why we created @nationalsawmillsuk

A working relationship across 3 nations.

We look forward to working with you.

I wonder how much trouble I’ll get for doing this 😁?

23rd of May. Would you like to join us?

We’re going to tackle this sequoia stick together.
We’re going to work out how we give it a second life.

In the woods, nearly destroying my phone…

Feeling proud. Someone purchased a Peterson WPF and also requested we supplied them with saw logs.

I might be the agent now tapping on a computer but this is where it all began.

Dirt underneath our nails, in the woods, having ...fun.

@petersonsawmills

Draxx power station currently earns 2million a day in government subsidies. Does that sound right to you?

Meanwhile small scale forestry and localised timber conversion is being muscled out due to the lack of ‘market.’

#timber #draxx #net0 #timberrevolution #uk

Local timber conversion is no longer something that can be kept within a woodland. It has no boundaries, it has no limits.

I welcome you to join us to something that should’ve been impossible to achieve.

Justice comes far too long after the damage.
With convoluted decisions.
Nuanced problems that only affect victims.

Perhaps it isn’t about louder voices and tighter control.
Perhaps it’s ensuring people and communities never lose their own authority to begin with.
...
We’re watching in real time when responsibility is handed upwards and outwards.

I’m careful now more than ever.
Every generation has to inherit something better.

Forestry in the UK will change.

My names Jerry,

If we’ve never met, it’s good to connect.

My mission -

Encourage farmers and others into forestry. ( I also farm in Devon)
Produce the best mangalitsa pork!
I’m the sole agent for Peterson sawmills... (mobile sawmill for low impact timber conversion. )

If that’s your thing, it’s good to meet you 🤝
