GCS CHAMPIONS THE TIMBER SECTOR AT BMJ INDUSTRY AWARDS G


CS Associates is proud to sponsor the Timber Merchant of the Year category at this year’s Builders’ Merchant Journal (BMJ) Awards – a key day in the calendar that brings together and celebrates the very best of the UK builders’ merchant sector.


Timber merchants are a vital part of our sector. They provide much more than just materials – offering expert advice, deep product knowledge, and a focus on service that keeps the trade moving. Whether it’s structural timber, sheet materials or specialist joinery products, these businesses play a key role in building sustainable, high-quality projects across the UK. “The timber category represents some of the most knowledgeable and service-driven businesses in our industry,” says Michael Parry, Managing Director at GCS Associates. “We’re proud to work alongside so many outstanding timber businesses and to support an award that recognises their contribution to the wider industry. This category truly celebrates the people and businesses who are shaping the future of merchanting.” GCS Associates has been supporting businesses across the builders’ merchant sector for nearly 20 years. We’re not generalist recruiters – we’re sector specialists. From independent timber merchants and national merchant groups to specialist distributors
