Deeside Timberframe has announced a multi-million-pound investment programme, which includes the opening of a new office in Warrington. The new location is set to enhance client engagement, improve response times, and support increasing demand for energy-efficient timber frame solutions.
The wider strategic programme centres on boosting manufacturing capacity, enhancing production efficiency, and embedding sustainable practices throughout Deeside Timberframe’s operations. A key element of this initiative is a 5,500-square-foot extension to the company’s existing Throsk manufacturing facility.
Designed to house a new automated wall production line, the expanded site also features a newly installed 108kW solar panel system, generating 90,000 kWh of electricity annually—enough to power more than a third of the facility’s energy requirements.
Additional investment in machinery includes the integration of an automated precision cutting system, along with new equipment for open web joist manufacturing and a state-of-the-art dust extraction system.
Upgrades at Throsk are ongoing, with improvements being made to logistics infrastructure, office areas, welfare amenities, electrical heating and transportation. Similar enhancements have also been carried out at Deeside Timberframe’s Stonehaven headquarters, where office and welfare facilities have been modernised.
Managing director David Crawford commented:
“The demand for sustainable housing is greater than ever, and timber frame construction is a key solution to meeting these targets. Our multi-million-pound investment enables us to expand our capacity, integrate innovative technologies, and improve sustainability across our operations.”
Andrew Orriss, chief executive of the Structural Timber Association, added:
“It’s encouraging to see members investing in the future of timber to support the government’s ambition to build 1.5 million homes. This kind of expansion not only enables the delivery of more high-quality timber homes across England, but also creates skilled jobs, supports safer and more efficient factory operations, and contributes directly to the UK’s housing and net zero goals.”
