“I am delighted to be on the STA board and to be a part of an organisation who shares the same values and objectives as Södra,” said Mr English. “We believe timber can help overcome many of the UK’s construction challenges, from meeting housing needs to fast and efficient delivery of buildings. We are committed to the UK timber industry and being active members of the STA helps us to live out that commitment.”

Södra is committed to making timber the number one building material to use in the UK, he added.
