Woodknowledge Wales members gain priority access to editorial and advertising opportunities in the UK’s flagship timber publication
We’re proud to announce that Woodknowledge Wales has taken on editorial leadership of the Timber Industry Yearbook 2025 in partnership with Open Box Media & Communications.
This trusted annual guide—now in its 25th year—has become a cornerstone publication for the UK timber supply chain, known for its in-depth technical content, practical insights, and sector-wide reach. Under our new collaboration with Open Box, the Yearbook will expand its impact while continuing to serve as a vital bridge between landowners, manufacturers, specifiers, policymakers, and end users.
Why this matters for our members
As part of this partnership, Woodknowledge Wales members will receive priority access to editorial and advertising opportunities, including:
- Publishing technical articles under your expert byline
- Featuring in sponsored case studies, interviews or company profiles
- Showcasing new products, projects or innovations
- Reaching an expanded digital and print audience across the UK and beyond
This is your chance to position your organisation at the heart of the timber conversation and share your work with the wider industry.
Join the editorial conversation
We’ve also invited Open Box to gather member insights on key timber industry trends and challenges. Your responses will directly influence the editorial themes of this year’s edition—and help shape Woodknowledge Wales’ own activities in the year ahead.
