The team at TTJ would like to wish all our readers in print and online a very happy Christmas and a great New Year.

The UK wood industries are amazing, producing and supplying timber products that are vital to many sectors, including the important construction and furniture/interiors sectors.

While the economy has been less than stellar in 2025, the long-term picture for wood use is certainly a positive one, due to the low carbon and aesthetic qualities of the material.

We wish sawmillers, importers, distributors, product manufacturers, merchants and all industry stakeholders a great Christmas period and a prosperous New Year. Looking forward to seeing the development of the sector in 2026 and beyond!

TTJ also includes the TTJ Buyer’s Guide and the TTJ Awards, while Wood-Based Panels International is its long-established global sister title.
