BSW Group’s UK Chairman, Tony Hackney, has announced his plans to retire at the end of March 2024, following a 30-year career in the timber sector.
Tony has been the figurehead of BSW for more than 15 years, having joined as CEO in late 2008 and stepping into the role of UK Chairman last year.
Under Tony’s leadership, BSW has undergone a period of unprecedented growth and acquisition, with turnover increasing from approximately £100m annually to over £900m.
Strategic acquisitions have included Maelor Forest Nurseries, Tilhill Forestry, Dick Brothers Harvesting, SCA UK (now BSW Timber Solutions), Bayram Timber and Scott Pallets, as well as a joint venture with Power Sheds.
BSW Group is the UK's largest integrated forestry and timber business, across seeding, harvesting and production.
