Voting in the UK timber industry’s annual awards – the TTJ Awards – is set to open this coming Tuesday (April 7).

The TTJ Awards, which celebrates its 30th anniversary at a new Mayfair location this year, will see voting start on a secure online platform across 10 categories spanning the breadth of the timber products industries – including softwood, hardwood, panel products, joinery, structural timber systems and timber garden products.

Customers of the timber supply chain are invited to vote for their best-performing suppliers. Typical voters include merchants, wood product manufacturers, construction firms, architects and specifiers.

Links to the voting site will go live on April 7 on the TTJ Awards website – https://awards-ttj.ttjonline.com/blog/award-category/voting-categories/ . Voting will close on June 19.

Also going live are the judged categories, spanning Career Development, Excellence in Marketing, Environmental Achievement, Innovation and Timber Merchanting Development. Entry forms can be downloaded from the Awards website.

Major organisations backing the Awards include Timber Development UK, sponsor of the Timber Trader of the Year, the Builders Merchants Federation, the Structural Timber Association and the British Woodworking Federation.

“The TTJ Awards are unique in that timber product buying customers vote and give feedback on their suppliers across a range of areas – including customer service, value for money, product quality, product range and deliveries,” said TTJ editor Stephen Powney.

“It is the 30th anniversary of the TTJ Awards and we are planning to have a fun and rewarding event in central London, with attendees from across the wood product industries. Come and join us on September 18!”

The London Marriott Grosvenor Square will be the new location for this year’s 30th anniversary TTJ Awards on September 18. Tickets are now on sale, for more details visit  https://awards-ttj.ttjonline.com/the-ceremony/ or contact Chidi Adilih-Osim +44 (0) 20 7406 6739 / chidi.adilih@ttjonline.com
