Howarth Timber has been recognised as one of The Sunday Times ‘Best Places to Work.’

With over 180 years’ trading experience, the Howarth Timber Group has grown to be the UK’s largest privately-owned timber company, having expanded from a one-man company to an employer of more than 1,000 people.

Emily Green of Howarth Timber said: “This national recognition is a fantastic achievement and is a true reflection of the positive culture we’ve built together. Only organisations that meet strict criteria and demonstrate exceptional levels of employee satisfaction are included in the list, making this honour even more meaningful.

“This is a very prestigious award that celebrates outstanding workplace engagement, culture and employee satisfaction across the UK.

“It highlights the strong levels of engagement across our company and the genuine commitment we share in making Howarth not just a great place to work, but also a place where individuals feel supported, valued, and motivated to grow.

“We are thrilled to see our efforts recognised on such a respected platform and would like to thank every team member who continues to contribute to our culture, values, and success. Together, we’ve made The Howarth Timber Group Ltd one of the UK’s best places to work – and that’s something we can all be proud of!”
