2019

​Welcome to the first of our 2019 Blogs.  From all of us at The Wood Yard we hope that you have all had a fun Christmas and enjoyable break?
 
Looking back at the last few months of 2018 we’re please to welcome Ben Valentine to our team, Ben has been with us for the past couple of months and has been learning about the different species of timber that we stock here at The Wood Yard.  As well as cutting and planning timber Ben’s is now proficient in glass cutting, key cutting and has successfully competed his fork lift truck training – welcome Ben!

We don’t usually receive many enquiries for cladding and decking in the winter months however 2018/19 has been an exception.  We delivered planed European Oak boards for a prestigious decking job (as per the attached photo) in November and we also delivered Feather Edge Larch cladding for a December project!  Thankfully we have had a mild winter (to date) which has meant many of these projects, which are usually left until spring have been started now.
 

Our engineered flooring sales have remained strong during 2018, here are some shots of a “before and after project” which we carried out just before Christmas.  I’m sure you’ll agree that the real wood flooring is a significant improvement to carpet.
 

​Our self-storage business, Your Store has had a very busy 2018.  About 50% of our storage customers are long term renters and the other 50% are short/medium-term renters.  Our enquiries range from, “our house move has been delayed, we can’t move in as planned, the removal vans have been loaded, can you help?  We need storage today” to “I’m moving in a few months’ time, can you help”.  We always try to have spare capacity for immediate requirements and have been able to help everyone to date with their requirements.
 
As we arrive in 2019, we look forward to seeing you son and wish you all the best for a Happy and Healthy 2019.
