David Smith has changed considerably since it was founded in 1963 by my father. Our premises have expanded, our products developed and our manufacturing processes modernised. But, one thing remains the same
– our total commitment to meet the everchanging technical challenges of the building industry with timber engineered solutions.

We stay true to the traditional values of craftsmanship, successfully combining it with technical support and superior production techniques.

We continually review our processes and actively encourage feedback to ensure that we consistently meet our clients’ requirements. Our customer focus is clear – we build long term working relationships, the foundations of
which are trust and mutual respect.

From large commercial and public sector projects, through to residential developments and self-build homes – whoever you are, whatever the size of your project, we will work interactively with you to deliver purpose-made timber products that meet your specific project’s requirements.

That could mean a discussion over the phone to recommend the best product for a particular job, meeting with an architect or contractor, or a site visit with a structural engineer or builder to review specifications.

One of the more serious aspects of our business is the impact we can have on our environment. David Smith has shown it’s commitment by becoming an active member of the PEFC organisation. Chain of custody demonstrates our responsibility to seek out and work solely with other like minded timber suppliers.

Looking to the future, we have some exciting new products and services in development and are continually looking to reach new markets. Most importantly, we will strive to provide added value to our clients who appreciate good service, excellent quality, and take their responsibilities towards the environment seriously.
