MANUFACTURER OF trusses and joists in the UK, Engineered Timber Solutions Ltd, is planning a £1.8m expansion of its production capacity.

The investment will double the business’s truss and metal-web production capacity to meet the growing demand for truss roofing and metal-web components.

Through the expansion, the company will achieve more efficient manufacturing processes, improve quality control standards and better customer service.

Engineered Timber Solutions Ltd believes that it will have the most efficient truss and joist factory in the UK. The initiative will significantly cut lead times, making the business more competitive.

Family owners, the Sankeys and Carvers, say they are committed to the company’s long-term success and growth.

To lead the company through the expansion, Jill Sankey will join as MD, and George Carver will join as Sales Manager. Both have substantial management and sales experience. The founders, Phil Sankey, Henry Carver, and Neil Kendrick, will remain non-executive directors.

Now a well-established name in the industry, we have developed a broad customer base ranging from homeowners to national house builders. Our business is firmly established in Shropshire and is dedicated to delivering the highest quality products for our customers across the UK.
