Conveniently situated in the village of Langworth on the A158 between Lincoln and Wragby, the business was started by Benjamin Knight, the current owners’ great and great great grandfather, having bought the site as a brick yard and turning it into a successful timber yard.
Currently under the family leadership of John, Ben, and John’s daughter Helen, the business supplies manufactured timber items all over the East Midlands.
