This year, we’re proud to mark 140 years in the sawmilling industry.

Since our beginnings in the 19th century, East Brothers has grown alongside the communities, projects, and trade partners we work with every day. From early timber operations to a modern sawmill supplying across the UK and beyond, a lot has changed but our focus hasn’t.
It’s always been about understanding timber and supplying the right material for the right job.

Over the years, we’ve continued to invest in our capabilities, expand into specialist sectors, and adapt to the evolving demands of the industry, while holding onto the practical knowledge that comes from generations of hands-on experience.

To mark the milestone, we’ve put together a blog reflecting on where we started, how we’ve developed, and what that experience means for the trade today.
