James Jones & Sons is hosting a celebration day for the 25 year anniversary of its Lockerbie sawmill.
The original pallet mill, Lockerbie 1, was under construction 25 years ago at the Stevens Croft site in Southwest Scotland. The site now employs around 200 direct employees from the local area.
Rob MacKenna, general manager of James Jones & Sons Ltd, said “This is a major milestone for the site and the images offer a striking comparison between 1999 and 2025 and highlight the scale of the site’s growth and the extensive programmes of capital expenditure and innovation. Since the site’s inception we have invested over £100 million and produced around 6 million m3 of sawn timber.
“We are delighted to celebrate our anniversary and it stands as a testament to the dedication, hard work and innovation of everyone involved over the years. Recognition is due too to the visionaries on the Board at the time to build on a greenfield site.”
