Our team at Durham were delighted to host a visit from Mary Kelly Foy, MP, earlier today. Mary is the MP for the City of Durham constituency, where our new mill is located and she was instrumental in the planning process. The visit was also attended by Paul Brannen, who was revisiting to see the installation of the glulam beams.
We took the opportunity to discuss issues around employment in the local area, sustainable supply of timber and the benefits that our product provides in contributing to net zero and timber security in the UK. As well as the progress being made, Mary was very impressed by the fact that she will have the UK’s most state of the art sawmill located in her constituency.
