One of Croespenmaen’s most well-established producers is opening its doors to the public for the first time, offering them the opportunity to get their hands on high-end timber products previously only available to tradesmen.

The Premier Forest Sawmill, which is on the Croespenmaen Industrial Estate, is selling a range of timber products including decking, flooring, screws, nails and work wear from their brand new showroom.

The showroom is open six days a week offering local DIY enthusiasts the opportunity to get their hands on high-end products at a time convenient to them.

Simon Harris, softwood manager of Premier said: “We already have some strong links with local trade and we hope that by making our products more accessible we will be able to build on this success.

“We are showcasing a wide range of timber products, garden furniture from our sister mill, Duchy Timber and our core range of fencing, all available on the spot, perfect for getting the garden ready before winter sets in.

“I think people will be surprised by the range of products on offer and would encourage people to head along to the site to speak to us and find out more about what we have on offer.”

All the wood used on the site comes from within a 60 mile radius and is all certified.

Premier Forest Sawmilling is part of the Newport-headquartered timber and panel importer and distributor Premier Forest Group.
