Arnold Laver, a long established family business specialising in timber and timber based products, are proud to announce that their new Bristol Depot is now operational.

Located in Bristol, within the site boundary of Filton Airfield, this former aircraft production facility,where Concorde and the Brabazon were manufactured, provides an ideal location for distributing timber and timber-based products into the South-West of the Country.

The business has been delivering materials into the South West, via their Reading and Birmingham Depots, for quite some time now, but the introduction of this new dedicated facility will mean that we can offer a next-day service to existing and new customers that are either based locally, or working in the area.

This new distribution Depot represents a significant investment and helps to further enhance their reputation as one of the leading timber specialists in the UK. Continuing the principal of having significant stocks of materials at regional distribution locations across the country, backed up by product experts who are both knowledgeable and helpful.

Andrew Laver, Group Managing Director commented ‘We are absolutely delighted to have opened this new facility, which will further improve the service that we can offer our customers in the region. We are confident that our ethos of providing a large stock-holding, together with a quick and efficient delivery service, via our own fleet of vehicles, will help our customers deliver their projects on-time and in-full. It is also appropriate that the Depot is based within a former aircraft hangar, when my grandfather Arnold Laver was a pilot, who used his gratuity from the Royal Flying Corps, to establish this business in 1920’.

Initially the Depot will hold extensive stock of Softwoods, Hardwoods, Panel Products, Decorative Surfaces, Doors and Joinery Products, all of which we know are popular with our customers on a day-to-day basis. During the Summer this will be supplemented by the addition of roof-truss and timber-engineered floor production facilities.

David King, the Depot Director for Bristol added ‘We have listened to our customers and responded by developing a Depot in the region, so that we can offer an improved response-time. We know that by making it easier for our customers to trade with us, we are more likely to see demand grow. We also appreciate that as the Depot develops, we are able to contribute to the local economy, providing opportunities for local people to join us and develop their career as our business grows.’
