Birketts has also started the year with a brand new client in the sector of heavy transport, lifting and construction logistics and has held meetings with potential partners wishing to work with a timber mat supplier which is renowned for its customer service.

The demand may soon lead to new job creation at Birketts, as the family firm starts its 41st year in the timber industry and reinforces its reputation in the energy, infrastructure, engineering and construction sectors.

Managing director, Juanita Watts, said: “We have had a fabulous start to 2015 and the phone just hasn’t stopped ringing.

“We are increasingly becoming known as the go-to supplier of timber access mats, not just because we can produce a heavy-duty, reliable product, but also because we are known for providing excellent customer service.

“We put much effort into managing every part of the supply process, from the order of our hardwood bog mats to delivery and all the logistics in between, no matter where in the world our mats travel.

“We take the headache out of our customers’ hands and listen to their needs.

“We have also introduced best-rate purchase and hire options and offer national rates, regardless of location.

“All of these factors are driving demand.”
