Cardiff – CFI is pleased to announce that it acted as exclusive financial advisor to Premier Forest on its acquisition of National Timber Group’s National Timber Systems business and Hull site.

Premier Forest Group is on the UK’s largest timber business covering importation, processing, merchanting and wholesale distribution of timber in the UK.

National Timber Group is one of the largest independent timber distribution and processing groups in the UK. The group has 60 processing and branch/distribution sites across the UK providing nationwide coverage, and employs at least 1450 people.

This acquisition safeguards 160 jobs at NTS, with plans to grow this number to 250.

This transaction closed on 22 December 2025.
