Presenter
With more than 15 years of experience in various parts of the Construction Industry, Anthony joined Britton Timbers to continue building on his knowledge base in this sector.
Stocking more than fifty quality Australian & Imported species has allowed him the opportunity to deal with joiners, furniture makers, boat builders, shop fitters, flooring professionals, builders, architects and interior designers to provide exceptional timber solutions that bring their ideas to life. Key principles of solutions need to centre around sustainability, recyclability, and environmental impacts which is why Acetylated timbers are an important part of this range.
Anthony provides advice to ensure that the right product solution is adopted for projects from a range of timbers that have been curated from across the globe.
Their onsite value adding facilities, enables them to provide an innovative and diverse product offering to an ever-changing timber marketplace.
