About Timber Development UK
The largest, most comprehensive supply chain body for timber in the UK.

Timber Development UK has been formed from the merger of the two largest and longest established organisations in the supply chain, the Timber Trade Federation (TTF) and Timber Research and Development Association (TRADA).
Bringing these two associations together as one has created the largest, most comprehensive supply chain body in the UK, spanning from sawmill to specifier and all points in between.
As a single supply chain organisation TDUK seeks to:
- Connect the Supply chain
- Lead Best Practice
- Accelerate a low-carbon future
