Timber Expo: CP Timber makes debut

5 October 2013


CP Timber’s presence was not just the first time it had exhibited at Timber Expo, but the first time at any show.

"It's important that British companies are seen to support the show," said managing director Chris Powell.

The company was promoting its range of clear softwood, mainly from North America, and tropical and temperate hardwoods. It illustrated the latter with a giant Jenga made of tulipwood.

Mr Powell said the show was a positive experience for the company.

"There's a good mixture of people - potential customers, buyers and merchants - and most people are serious in wanting to talk about wood," said Mr Powell.
