The Timber Industry Yearbook 2026 is a trusted annual guide and technical publication for the UK timber supply chain that connects people, policies, and practices across the full wood value chain. Woodknowledge Wales has shaped both the direction and content of the yearbook led by our Editor-in-Chief Sarah Lawton.
This well-established annual guide—now marking its 26th year—has grown into a key resource for the UK timber supply chain, celebrated for its detailed technical information, valuable insights, and broad industry relevance. The partnership with Open Box has allowed the Yearbook to further extend its influence while maintaining its essential role as a link between landowners, manufacturers, specifiers, policymakers, and end users.
The Yearbook has three purposes:
- It serves as a vital bridge between landowners, manufacturers, architects, developers, and policymakers.
- It promotes a sustainable, low-carbon future and regenerative materials in construction.
- Articles written by a large number of expert authors share practical insights, case studies and thought leadership on a range of important industry topics.
Additionally, the Yearbook includes a buyer’s guide to help professionals find certified timber suppliers
