The acquisition sees Robert Price add the Ebbw Vale-based timber supplier to its growing portfolio of businesses, further expanding its footprint across the region and reinforcing its commitment to serving customers across South Wales and Herefordshire.
Founded in 2003, Philip Jones Timber Products has built a strong reputation as a supplier of quality timber and bespoke timber products in South Wales. The business will continue operating from its sawmill and yard in Rassau, Ebbw Vale, ensuring continuity for customers and suppliers.
