We are able to select from our wide range
of approved contractors the specialist skills needed to ensure
your woodland receives a professional service which maximises
value whilst at the same time taking account of all
environmental sensitivities.
This gives us the flexibility to respond to
the varying requirements of growers from harvesting woodlands
on environmentally sensitive sites to small scale estate
thinnings to large clear fells requiring fully mechanised
harvesting techniques.
Our cable crane systems enable us to
harvest timber out of inaccessible or environmentally
sensitive sites and can operate up to 500 metres away from the
unit.They have been used successfully for the removal of
non-native species for peat bog restoration work as well as
operating in sensitive water catchment areas where more
conventional harvesting techniques would have resulted in
unacceptable ground damage.
The experience found in our diverse range
of contractors allows us to select the most appropriate and
efficient techniques best suited to balance your requirements
and at the same time to maximise returns, ensuing that you
receive a one to one service and your woodlands continue to
grow and improve.
Our commitment to the sustainable
management of Britain’s forests has led us to achieving full
FSC chain of custody accreditation which indicates that the
timber has come from well managed forests which have been
independently inspected and evaluated according to strict
environmental, social and economic principles and criteria as
agreed by the Forest Stewardship Council. This enables
Sheffield and Company to carry the FSC logo on timber produced
from all FSC approved sources.
50 years of trading has helped Sheffield and
Company develop strong relationships with markets all over the
UK this gives us the expertise of being able to place your
timber in the right market to maximise your returns and
because we are totally independent we can guarantee the grower
the full benefit of open market competition.
Our ability to respond to market demands
is strengthened by our own in house timber wagons which gives
the grower the assurance that their timber can supply spot
markets with a minimum of delay, which helps to increase the
value of your investment.
