Further site closures and redundancies have taken place at the National Timber Group (NTG), which is currently in administration.
A number of central function positions have also been affected.
“As Joint Administrators, we have been trying to sell the business and assets of National Timber Group,” said the administrators.
“We have received offers for a number of the group’s sites, but not for the whole business. As a result, it has been necessary to make further redundancies in the branches where we have received no offers for a sale.
“These branches closed on Friday 12th December. We have also made a number of employees redundant from central functions, given the reduced size of the group and pending transactions. We are supporting the affected employees through the redundancy process.”
“We are working on a number of transactions for the group’s sites, which we hope to complete prior to Christmas, and which would rescue parts of the business and retain employment for those who would transfer to a purchaser. We would like to thank the workforce of National Timber Group for their continued support during this process.”
Michael Magnay, Gemma Quinn and Jonathan Marston of leading professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal were appointed as joint administrators of five entities making up National Timber Group on 26 November 2025.
