AROUND SINCE 1882, Alsford Timber started out selling timber and fencing in South West London. From these humble beginnings they have become the largest timber merchant in South East England, with 19 branches across 4 counties. They may be almost 130 years old, but their Windows based IT is state of the art. They’ve created a central platform that allows them to share information across the company, and offers customers and suppliers access to current account information and real-time stock control and availability. They also maintain their own fleet of 40 vehicles which they can deliver
