The United Kingdom Forest Products Industry is making an increasingly significant contribution to the national economy. Better still, the United Kingdom forest resource is expanding. Now, with the help of major investments from the sawmilling and wood processing industry, sustained growth in the utilisation of the increasing volume of timber is being achieved.
The role of representing the technical and commercial interests of this dynamic industry is a crucial one, filled by the United Kingdom Forest Products Association.
