Timber is a beautiful, sustainable and versatile material with strength and durability among its many attributes and the timber trade is a major industry in the UK.

The North East Timber Trade Association (NETTA) represents companies in the North and East of England supplying timber and related products including importers, sawmillers, merchants, agents and builders merchants.

NETTA also has affiliated members in sectors associated with the timber trade such as shipping companies, ports and logistic operations NETTA is part of the UK Timber Trade Federation and is a reliable first point of contact for anything to do with wood. The Association's activities include:-

liaising closely, through the TTF, with the government and the Central Point of Expertise (CPET) on the various certification schemes. Remember the Government buying departments are responsible for purchasing about 40% of the total UK timber consumption.

actively encouraging members to sign up to the government-endorsed Responsible Purchasing Policy (RPP) only available to members of the Timber Trade Federation

working with schools, colleges, universities and various local communities to ensure that the next generation is educated about timber
