National Coverage and Local Knowledge
The Walker Timber Group comprises four long-established, strategically-located firms: Walker Timber Ltd, Pattrick & Thompsons Ltd, Guildway Ltd and Cox Long Ltd.

The strategic location of our four constituent companies means that the Group has unrivalled local knowledge and credibility, along with full UK coverage. This gives us the ability to handle large national contracts and service local builders equally well.
