A.W. Jenkinson Forest Products formed in the 1960s when founder, Allan Jenkinson, took the initiative to collect unwanted sawdust and wood shavings from the sawmills around Cumbria using a single tractor and trailer. He transported the timber co-product to the area’s farms where sawdust was, and still is, in great demand as livestock and pet bedding.
Today, A.W. Jenkinson Forest Products and its associated businesses handle over 3 million tons of British timber co-products each year in an environmentally responsible cycle.
