Consolidated Timber Holdings Ltd was founded in 1990 with the initial objective of bringing three companies together under one ownership. MBM Forest Products, founded 1966, Compass Forest Products, founded 1985 and Falcon Panel Products, founded 1986. A significant number of people working in the Group at that time shared the same industry background and most were well known to each other. This formed the basis of building a strong team.
In 2023, Falcon Panel Products and MBM Forest Products amalgamated to form a new company, Falcon Timber Ltd. Falcon Timber has since merged with Compass Forest Products and MBM Speciality Forest Products (in 2024), a powerful move, resulting in a strong, well positioned timber distribution model that offers true nationwide delivery in the UK. The combination of companies under the new Falcon Timber means the product catalogue and expertise on offer is genuinely unique.
Falcon Timber alongside the manufacturing divisions of Hoffman Triesse, positions CTH as one of the leading timber distributors and manufacturing solution specialists in the UK.

Meet our CEO and hear his views on the Timber industry and future plans for the CTH Group
Prior to joining the CTH Group I worked for global blue chip companies including Heinz, Mars and Gap, and have worked across operations, logistics, procurement, sales and finance, giving me an insight into how different business teams work together. This has helped me understand where my colleagues are coming from when making business decisions. CTH has created two divisions – manufacturing and distribution and can sell any of our products, whether domestic or imported, to our customers anywhere in the UK, as we have a genuinely national business that can supply in bulk or small quantities. CTH now has 10 stocking locations around the UK, which means it can deliver almost any product to any customer within 48 hours of the order being placed – and faster if necessary.
CTH has continued to invest in the business, bringing new products to market and investing in the back office, marketing, IT and finance functions to help the company continue to grow and develop moving forward. This investment was inspired in part by the time I spent travelling around the business when I first joined CTH, listening to different perspectives from staff. The people I spoke to within the business were clear. There were things that were really good, and things that could be improved, and everything we’ve done in the last three years has come from those early conversations. We continue to evolve a growth mindset, in both our business and people strategy, and I look forward to what the future holds for Consolidated Timber Holdings.
