What do you consider the main issues affecting the fencing and landscaping industry? The unprecedented demand experienced during the lockdown for landscaping and fencing material. It has put intensive pressure on sawmills both at home and abroad causing longer lead times.

What’s been your best idea? Becoming a timber trader for Landguard Point all those years ago!

And you’re worst? Not moving to New Zealand when I had the chance.

What do you like about Fencing and Landscaping News? It’s a useful tool to gain a better understanding of the direction the market is going, and also a great way to get to know others in our industry.
