The long-awaited shortlists for the timber industry TTJ Awards 2026 voted categories are now live.

Publication of the shortlists follow a two month online voting window which concluded on June 26. To view the shortlists please visit the TTJ Awards website at FINALISTS.

This year about 2,000 people took part in the online voting process in what represents the largest exercise of its kind in the UK timber products industry.

Buyers and users of timber products – including building contractors, specifiers, fencing contractors, joinery manufacturers, structural timber systems fabricators, merchants and furniture makers – voted for their best performing wood product suppliers, left comments and rated them in the following areas

• Customer Service

• Product Range

• Product Quality

• Value for Money

• Deliveries

Winners will be announced at the TTJ Awards ceremony at the London Marriott Grosvenor Square on September 18. This year is the 30th anniversary of the TTJ Awards and will be a fun, celebratory lunchtime gathering of the entire wood industries.

Sponsors this year are Timber Development UK, Swedish Wood, Arxada, W Howard, Combilift, the Structural Timber Association, Koppers, Bulmor Lancer Sideloaders, West Fraser, the British Woodworking Federation, SCM UK, Glennon Brothers, Baumann Sideloaders and the Builders Merchants Federation.

“This year we’ve once again seen high voting numbers and a huge range of timber users and buyers voting for suppliers who are giving them the best service,” said Stephen Powney, TTJ editor.

“Getting this feedback from timber product buyers is vital for the trade and we look forward to seeing the industry gather together on September 18 for the 30th anniversary TTJ Awards.” 

The Timber Trader of the Year Award – the gold award in the voted categories – will be announced at the Awards ceremony and is sponsored by leading timber sector representative body Timber Development UK.
