About James Jones |
|
Mr James Jones started trading in timber and allied products in the middle of the nineteenth century. Since being incorporated in 1905, James Jones & Sons
Ltd have grown both organically and by acquisition. |
|
|
In an increasingly demanding field our company continues to update and improve its sawmills and treatment plants. Our sawmills utilise some of the most modern wood processing techniques found today in Europe.

The Company
James Jones & Sons Ltd is one of the largest suppliers of British Timber in the UK today. The sawmills are strategically placed to take advantage of the increasing supply of saw logs being produced from post war plantations. These are bought from both private and state owned forests as well as woodlands owned and managed by the company

Family Concern
James Jones & Sons Ltd is a real family business. Like any good family, the company cares for its members, and that concern extends to whole communities in rural areas where the company is a major employer.
There is also an equal concern for customer satisfaction. The company's mission is to maintain the highest standards of quality and service in the industry

Cutting Edge
The company strives to maintain its competitive advantages.
Wood is harvested and processed for specific markets and end uses such as: Construction, Palletwood, Packaging and Fencing.
James Jones & Sons Ltd has a team of highly trained professionals who look after the purchasing and harvesting of the round timber, making sure the right logs go to the right mill where they can be processed to best advantage. Good relationships with forest owners are vital and in most cases are of many years standing thus providing the right background for the purchase of our raw material.
Quality comes from our modern sawmills staffed by experienced people. James Jones & Sons is fortunate in having many people who are experts in their field and who know about and understand wood. This ensures the quality of our products.
