About Us

Wood Green Timber Company Limited is a family run Timber Merchants based originally in Wood Green, North London. Founded by our Managing Director John Silvester back in 1981, it was originally a lorry park. John took the initiative of turning the small site into a timber yard. As the years went by other small plots ajoining the yard became available which were bought and Wood Green Timber slowly started to grow in size. John's brother-in-law Philip Daniels bought into the business and the two continued to grow the business in the early 80s working all around the clock to make sure it was a success. Andrew (Andy) Ranger became part of the team in the late 80s and played an important role in getting us to where we are today, though he sadly passed away in 2019 and is dearly missed.

In 2008, the Company grew further as we aquired a failing Timber Merchants in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire. We have been trading sucessfully from the two sites since. Today, Wood Green Timber run by John's two sons, Tom and Charlie, who run one site each - Tom at Potters Bar and Charlie at Wood Green - both with 15 years + experience in the trade who aim to progress and move the Company forward to bigger and better!

We operate with family values and we are so thankful to every customer who makes a purchase from us, no matter how big or small, your custom is welcomed and we will do whatever we can to help! As Tesco says 'every little helps'!
