Leading timber importer Timber Connection has appointed Keeley Baker as its new managing director.

Danny Catherall, who founded Timber Connection in 1991, is stepping into the role of Founder & CEO. He will remain closely connected to the business, with the transition allowing him to step back from the day-to-day operations.

Keeley Baker has been part of the business for over 11 years – most recently as commercial director. 

“Her contribution has been central to Timber Connection’s continued growth, and this appointment reflects the trust and confidence we have in her ability to lead the company forward,” Timber Connection said in a statement.

Mr Catherall said the company now had a new generation of leadership in place, a clear vision for the future, and was more committed than ever to growing the business, supporting its partners, and continuing to be a leading force in the industry.
