A farm sawmill, three generations on

Norman Willis set up a small sawmill on the family dairy farm more than 50 years ago, cutting timber and making Welsh dressers and tables by hand.

His sons James and Jonathan joined him and took the business into agricultural gates, fencing and timber for farming co-operatives, builders and contractors. The next generation of the family now works alongside them.

We use Scandinavian redwood, Baltic red and whitewood and a range of hardwoods, and treat gates and timber in our own tanalising plant.

  • Around 40 peoplein the mill, workshops and yard
  • Treated on sitein our own tanalising plant
