WTTA celebrates a successful 2026 Dinner

Over 170 timber merchants and their guests attended the Western Timber Trade Association (WTTA) Dinner on Thursday 5 February at the Marriott Royal Hotel in Bristol.

Following the dinner, WTTA Chairman, Andy Hodge, reportedly gave a rousing and well received speech outlining how the current poor trading conditions could be overcome by us all working together for a more positive future.

The after dinner speaker was Ben Hanlin, who is said to have engaged the audience from the very start, and throughout his talk with a combination of his award winning magic, anecdotes and comedy.

The evening was kept on track by Toastmaster Alan Myatt, and closed with a raffle, which raised the sum of £2,600 for the Timber Trades Benevolent Society (TTBS).
