John Cornthwaite, spoke to Business Lancashire and said: “As well as being able to service a wider area of Preston it will also prove to be more convenient for existing loyal customers both trade and domestic, who will be warmly welcomed at the new site.

“We have been looking for quite a while now for the most suitable location, although we deliver in the North West it is important to have a location that is convenient for our customers to visit, see the quality of our wood for themselves and also to be able to make use of our on-site cutting service.”
