Representatives from Falcon Timber were proud to attend this year’s East Anglian Timber Trade Association (EATTA) Cambridge Dinner, one of the most respected and anticipated events in the UK timber industry calendar. Held within the historic surroundings of King’s College, Cambridge, the event brought together hundreds of professionals from across the timber supply chain for an evening of networking, industry discussion and fundraising.
Hosted in the magnificent Great Hall, the annual dinner showcased the strength, resilience and camaraderie that continue to define the timber sector. Industry leaders, suppliers, importers, merchants and manufacturers came together to celebrate the vital role timber plays within the built environment while reflecting on both the challenges and opportunities facing the market.
For Falcon Timber, the evening provided a valuable opportunity to reconnect with customers, suppliers and industry peers in a setting steeped in history and tradition. Events such as the EATTA Cambridge Dinner reinforce the importance of collaboration across the sector and highlight the enduring relationships that underpin the timber trade.
This year’s dinner also supported Maggie’s Cambridge, EATTA’s nominated charity for 2026. Maggie’s provides practical, emotional and psychological support for people living with cancer and their families. Funds raised during the evening will contribute towards the charity’s work and support its plans for a new purpose-built timber centre in Cambridge.
Commenting on the event, Andrew Caldwell, Sales Director said:
“The EATTA Cambridge Dinner is always a fantastic opportunity to come together with colleagues from across the timber industry. It was a privilege to spend the evening in such an iconic venue, celebrate the strength of our sector, and support the incredible work being carried out by Maggie’s Cambridge. The event perfectly demonstrated the strong sense of community that exists within the timber trade.”
As a long-standing timber importer and national distributor, Falcon Timber remains committed to supporting industry initiatives that foster collaboration, knowledge sharing and positive impact beyond business. The Cambridge Dinner once again demonstrated that, despite ongoing market challenges, the timber industry continues to come together with optimism, professionalism and a shared commitment to supporting one another.
