As a not-for-profit competition, the Wood Awards can only happen with collaborative industry sponsorship. Our Major Partners are American Hardwood Export Council, Carpenters’ Company, and Timber Development UK. Other Sponsors include American Softwoods.
Since being established in 1971, the Wood Awards has become one of the UK’s most recognisable and coveted awards in the timber design and construction industries.
The Wood Awards showcases the many ways timber can transform and enrich our lives; and acts as a vehicle to drive positive change in our built environment.
An international creative collaborator and invaluable material resource, the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) is the global face of U.S. hardwoods, championing their performance, sustainability and aesthetic potential to timber markets all over the world.
The Carpenters’ Company is a City of London Livery Company. The Company was originally established as a medieval trade guild to safe guard the welfare and interests of carpenters in the City of London. Today, charitable activities and support for the craft of woodworking through scholarships, competitions and the Building Crafts College are the two cornerstones of its work.
Timber Development UK (TDUK) is the future of construction. Formed from the merger of the Timber Trade Federation and TRADA, TDUK represents the timber supply chain from sawmill to specifier. TDUK brings together more than 1500 members to build a new future with one central vision – to make timber the leading choice for the built environment.
American Softwoods is a promotional partnership formed by three major US softwood trade associations: the Southern Forest Products Association, the Softwood Export Council and the APA, the Engineered Wood Association.
