The announcement of a new collaboration between Women in Timber and Modern Joinery News represents a groundbreaking advancement in initiatives to boost women’s visibility, representation, and opportunities in the UK joinery and timber industries.
The collaboration is designed to strengthen communication across the sector by expanding the reach of Women in Timber’s messaging to a highly targeted professional audience. Through shared editorial content, coordinated event promotion, and ongoing media support, the partnership aims to shine a spotlight on the diverse roles women play throughout the timber supply chain—from forestry and manufacturing to design, technical services, and business leadership.
As the timber industry continues to evolve, addressing skills shortages and workforce diversity remains a key priority. By aligning with Modern Joinery News, Women in Timber gains access to a respected industry platform that reaches professionals working directly within joinery, manufacturing, and associated trades. The partnership also provides Modern Joinery News with an opportunity to actively support positive change within the sector.
Sarah Ball, representing Modern Joinery News, welcomed the collaboration, highlighting the growing presence of women in timber and the importance of encouraging further participation. She noted that the industry offers a wide range of career paths, not only within the direct timber and joinery supply chain, but also across the many operational, technical, and professional support roles required by modern businesses.
According to Ball, Women in Timber has successfully created a powerful network by connecting individuals across the sector and providing a platform for shared experience, visibility, and progress. She emphasised that amplifying these voices through industry media can act as a catalyst for further change, inspiring more women to consider careers in timber and related fields.
For Women in Timber, the partnership represents an opportunity to build sustained momentum. By working closely with a recognised trade publication, the organisation can extend its reach, support industry events, and ensure that conversations around inclusion and opportunity remain visible and relevant.
As the UK timber and joinery sectors face ongoing challenges around recruitment, skills, and long-term sustainability, initiatives that promote diversity and collaboration are increasingly seen as essential. This partnership signals a shared commitment to supporting the next generation of talent and strengthening the industry as a whole.
