Mon Timber Finalists in The Wood Awards

Mon Timber is celebrating after being shortlisted in the buildings category of the prestigious Wood Awards for its work on the restoration of the iconic Bristol Beacon.

Mon Timber, a branch of Premier Forest Products, worked alongside contractors Ian Williams Carpentry (IWC) and Willmott Dixon to renew the historic Grade 2 listed site earlier this year. They completed bespoke projects to regenerate the interior of the building with beautiful wooden features, with acoustic prowess to match.

The Wood Awards is the UK’s premier competition for excellence in architecture and product design in wood. Established in 1971, the Wood Awards recognises, encourages and promotes outstanding wood design, craftsmanship and installation.

From more than two hundred entries, eighteen buildings and fifteen furniture projects were selected by the judging panel of leading architects, engineers, designers, artists, critics and sustainability experts. Winners will be announced at the Carpenter’s Hall in London on 20th November.

Terry Edgell, Co-founder & CEO of Premier Forest Products said: “We’re so pleased to have been shortlisted for the prestigious Wood Awards this year, for the fantastic work completed on the Bristol Beacon. The impressive architecture will be on display for years to come, and the hard work that went into the project needs to be rewarded. A big congratulations to our team at Mon Timber, and good luck for the awards ceremony.”

Premier Forest Products is engaged in the importation, processing, merchanting and wholesale distribution of timber and timber products from multiple sites across the UK.
