Our new SterlingOSB Zero CPD is now live and ready to access. “We have developed an interesting, easy-to-understand CPD which encompasses all you need to know; we identify what OSB is, understand the performance and credentials against competitive materials, recognise the environmental benefits, and study the recommended applications of each variant.” David Connacher, Marketing Manager.

🎄 Is your Christmas tree still standing proud? 🎄 You may be thinking about taking it down in the next few days...or perhaps a little longer. Therefore, we wanted to tell you about a tree recycling scheme that we are supporting Strathcarron Hospice with. In January, staff at our site in Cowie will be donating the use of a van and our lovely employees will be giving up their time to help with the collection of Christmas trees. In return for this service, Just Helping would welcome a donation - your generosity will make a real difference to Strathcarron Hospice so thank you in advance! You can register using your postcode here https://lnkd.in/dXEapEgX or simply scan the QR code with your phone's camera.

Our European Sales, Marketing & Logistics Director, Simon Woods, gives his expert views on Q3 performance in 2024 and looks ahead to 2025. #BMBI #ThoughtLeadership
As we navigate the evolving dynamics of the sector, while considering our budgets and plans for 2025 and beyond, the Government seems to be focused on soundbites….300,000 houses a year is one that sticks in my mind. In Wood Based Products, we have the sustainability story on our side which, from a ‘big picture’ perspective, should give us some comfort that the future is improving in our direction. However, we are at a junction where global market pressures, shifting economic landscapes, and policy decisions converge to test our resilience and adaptability. What will happen to the imports of our key products? Chinese Plywood, for instance, looks likely to attract significant duty at some point soon to assist with Anti-Dumping. EUDR regulations to tackle deforestation and forest degradation in commodity supply chains will certainly reduce imports from some regions. But it looks like implementation has been delayed by the European Parliament for a year, to allow the process administration to be adopted fairly. All hurdles to be jumped! #BMBI Expert Simon Woods of West Fraser Europe: https://bit.ly/49K2U4r Read the full BMBI Q3 2024 Report: https://bit.ly/4gseP95 #BMBI #BuildersMerchants #Timber #Construction

West Fraser Europe reposted this
🎉 Reflecting on a Year of Success and Collaboration 🎉 This afternoon, I had the privilege of presenting at the Jewson SE5 regional meeting, where we came together to celebrate the incredible wins of 2024. Thank you Josh Warren and Sarah Bickerstaff for inviting me! It’s been a remarkable year for the SE5 region, and I’m immensely proud of the support we’ve been able to offer throughout the year. From strengthening our partnerships to achieving outstanding results, it’s been a testament to the dedication, hard work, and collaboration across the region. A special congratulations goes out to the West Fraser Europe 2024 winners in SE5. Woking Arthur's Bridge branch, Coulsdon branch, Staines branch, Walton branch and Danielle Butt– your achievements are truly inspiring and well-deserved! Here’s to building on these successes as we move into 2025, continuing to grow and deliver for our customers and teams. #Jewson #Collaboration #CelebratingSuccess #2024Wins #WestFraser
