“The UK in particular is seeing positive growth with the adoption of timber frame in new housebuilding, with housebuilders of all sizes transitioning towards the technology.”

Andrew Carpenter, Chief Executive Officer of the STA, said: “We’re incredibly pleased to bring Stewart onboard at the STA to support us in delivering the Timber in Construction Roadmap Implementation Plan – 2025 will be all about delivery.

Stewart’s role will see him work collaboratively with Government, TiC partners TDUK and CONFOR, industry and numerous stakeholders to evolve and execute a detailed implementation plan focused on growing the use of structural timber here in the UK.
