Hants and Dorset Timber Trade Association

Hello, my name is Richard Carter, and I am very proud to be the President of the Hampshire and Dorset Timber Trade Association

You can see my picture from a very recent trip to Ghana with some lovely Wawa lumber due to load for the UK. Ghana is signing up to an EU initiative - the Voluntary Partnership Agreement. This means the EU will help them achieve ultimately a Certified Sustainable forestry sector

The Hampshire and Dorset Association is a formal meeting of the Softwood, Hardwood and Sheet Materials traders in the area.

Meeting about 4 times a year we get to grips with all aspects of the trade including, as you can see a keen awareness that we have to have a responsible and forward thinking attitude to dealing with the most environmentally sound of products.

You can find within our membership all you need to know about timber, its origins, uses and applications.

So if you need any help or assistance please do not hesitate to contact us. Anyone from within the trade would be welcome at our meetings which I am sure you would find valuable.

We welcome any comments and suggestions and look forward to seeing you at one of our meetings or events.
