Having left college, he began his career at his family’s timber business E Jones & Sons in 1978, rising through the ranks to sales director, based at Slade Green in Kent. A few years after the sale of the £19m Jones Group to George Kingsbury Holdings, which owned Alsford Timber, he left and joined Olleys and was invited to join the board of directors soon after.
Mr Jones would like to take this opportunity to thank all the customers, suppliers and many colleagues that have shaped a thoroughly enjoyable career in a wonderful timber industry.
He is looking forward to taking on some timber related projects in the future while spending more time with family and enjoying sports and travel.
