DaltonsWadkin sponsors new TTJ Website Award

The well-known wood-processing machinery supplier, manufacturer. rebuild and maintenance specialist DaltonsWadkin is the sponsor of the brand new Website of the Year category in the prestigious TTJ Awards.

The new Award has been launched in recognition of the growing significance of online marketing and trading across the timber industry. Entries will be judged by an expert panel drawn from the timber and website design sectors and the winner will be the website that works most effectively for the company and its customers and best combines impactful design, practicality and user-friendliness.

The sponsor DaltonsWadkin was launched this year following the acquisition by AL Dalton of the Wadkin intellectual property rights, but the two companies, of course, have a combined history that adds up to more than two centuries.

The Wadkin operation now runs alongside Daltons as an integrated machinery manufacturer and distributor, while also offering service, training and parts supply.

Having sold Wadkin machines within the Daltons portfolio since 1956, DaltonsWadkin director Francis Dalton described the acquisition of the operation as a “coming home”.

TTJ editor Mike Jeffree welcomed the news that DaltonsWadkin had agreed to become the sponsor of the inaugural TTJ Website of the Year Award.

“This is an exciting new Award for TTJ, given the increasing importance to companies across the timber industry of having an up to date and effective online presence,” he said. “And to get DaltonsWadkin on board as sponsor is very good news indeed. To have the support of two such well-known and long-established brands – now combined as one, of course – gives added kudos to an event that is already one of the most prestigious and successful of the timber industry calendar.”
