Mr Shannon joined the business in 1993 at the age of 25, just two years after it was formed by founder and managing director Danny Catherall.
A clear grade softwood trader, Mr Shannon was employed at Timber Connection to add diversity to what was principally a hardwood trading company. Although only his second step on the career ladder, he came with a wealth of experience after eight years at Montague F Upton Ltd, a dedicated softwood agent at that time.
Mr Shannon was presented with a special gift as a token of the company’s appreciation during Timber Connection’s recent staff Christmas dinner. Mr Catherall thanked him for his service, dedication and loyalty.
“You eat, sleep and breathe Timber Connection and I could not have done it without you,” he said.
