National re-branding for Scott Timber Group

Scott Timber Group has announced a national re-branding as it sets its sights on rationalising its services and becoming a dominant force in UK logistics solutions.

Europe's leading pallet manufacturer, the Scott Timber Group has announced a national re-branding as it sets its sights on rationalising its services and becoming a dominant force in UK logistics solutions.

As part of the exercise recent acquisitions, including pallet manufacturers HS Timber, Combine Pallets and James Ind, will now be re-branded as Scott Timber.

Barry-based Combine Packaging, which was acquired in 2004 as the basis of the Group's new packaging division, will now be known as Scott Packaging as the Group aims to capture a larger slice of the UK packaging market.

In order to ensure greater clarity for customers, the Scott Timber Group will now deliver its services under four key divisions, namely Scott Timber, Scott Packaging, Scott Waste and Scott Recycling.

These will cover new pallet manufacturing, packaging solutions, wood waste and re-conditioned pallets respectively.

It is expected that all the divisions will benefit from the halo effect provided by the incorporation of the 'Scott' brand which is widely associated with innovation and customer service excellence in the pallet manufacturing industry.

John Scott, Managing Director of the Scott Timber Group, said: "As a Group we are committed to providing our customers with a single access point for all their logistic materials.

"Our diversification into new service areas enables us to, once again, approach our customers and offer them an enhanced service range that makes it easier for them to conduct their business.

"We have worked very hard to create the Scott brand which carries with it highly positive connotations for customers.

We now want to take these into our expanded service range".

The re-brand for Scott Packaging comes at a time of significant growth, with Commercial Director Chris Hatton aiming to expand across the UK through acquisition and the establishment of regional distribution centres.

Chris said: "The re-branding of the company gives us a nationally recognised brand which is going to be vital in 2006 as we look to embrace a wider market for our innovative and cost-effective solutions.

"We have identified a number of growth opportunities, both in terms of market niches and possible acquisitions, and now that we come under the Scott brand we have the strength to seize them.".
