Background

Created through the acquisition of four market leading brands, the National Timber Group is the largest independent added-value timber distribution and processing group in the UK.

A favoured supplier of large-scale infrastructure projects, the Group serves a diverse customer base including joiners, housebuilders and contractors.

With over 20 sites requiring complete refits throughout Scotland alone, it was important for the National Timber Group to find the right LED lighting solution to roll out across the brands.
