The Grown in Britain certification scheme provides assurance of homegrown timber and timber products from the UK. Certification guarantees that timber used has been grown sustainably and legally in the UK in accordance with the UK Government Timber Procurement Policy and the UK Forestry Standard.

According to Grown in Britain, the UK imports £7.8bn of foreign timber each year, whilst neglecting the potential of our own forests and woodlands. Only China imports more wood than the UK. Grown in Britain certification aims to reduce imports, by encouraging and supporting active and sustainable management of our own forests and woodlands.
