National Timber Group (NTG) has appointed Ed Holder as Managing Director NTG England.
Ed was previously Managing Director of specialist timber merchant, SV Timber, which was acquired by NTG in 2022. He brings more than 30 years of experience in timber, with a proven track record of driving transformational growth.
Throughout his career, Ed has been instrumental in creating and expanding businesses, founding SV Timber in 2004. There are now three thriving SV Timber branches in the East Midlands employing more than 60 staff.
When SV Timber joined the NTG England branch network, SV Timber customers benefitted through access to a broader range of products and services available through NTG, and Ed continued to contribute to the business in a strategic capacity.
“After accepting this leadership position in September 2024, I have been focused on supporting to restructure the business in several key areas," Ed explains. "I am 100% committed to ensuring that NTG England maintains strength and agility within the timber and construction industry. I am looking forward to leading our experienced NTG England team, and I am determined to drive the group forward – using our potential for growth and success.”
Jon Gatfield, NTG Chairman, adds: “We’re very excited to have Ed leading our England business. His proven skills in building SV Timber will be ideal as we head into 2025 and the promise of an ambitious house-building programme and broader economic recovery. We all wish Ed every success.”
