The A&J Scott team is gearing up for an incredible challenge, and we need your support! On Saturday 14th September 2024, Charlotte Robson, Julia Erskine, Peter Thompson and Tess Cumming, will be taking part in the Mighty Hike, walking 26 miles along the stunning Northumberland Coast, all in support of Macmillan Cancer Support.
Macmillan Cancer Support provides vital assistance to those facing cancer, offering everything from financial help to emotional support. Their work makes a profound difference in the lives of countless individuals and families. By participating in the Mighty Hike, we aim to raise funds that will enable Macmillan to continue their life-changing work.
The Mighty Hike is no small feat. Covering 26 miles of rugged coastline, our team will be pushed to their limits as they navigate through some of the most breathtaking terrains Northumberland has to offer. This hike represents not just a physical challenge but a symbol of the determination and resilience that those affected by cancer show every day.
We’re calling on our friends, family, and the wider community to support us in this endeavour. Every penny raised will go directly to Macmillan Cancer Support, helping them to provide essential services to those who need it most. Here’s how you can get involved:
• Sponsor Our Team: Visit our fundraising page AJScott to make a donation. Whether large or small, every contribution brings us one step closer to our goal.
• Spread the Word: Share our mission on social media, with friends, and within your networks. The more people who know about our challenge, the greater the impact we can make together.
• Join Us on the Day: If you’re local, come out to the Northumberland coast on Saturday 14th September and cheer us on (or meet us in the pub afterwards)! Your support along the way will be a huge motivator.
Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those affected by cancer. On behalf of the entire A&J Scott team, thank you for your generosity and encouragement as we take on this Mighty Hike for such a worthy cause.
Let’s rally together to help Macmillan Cancer Support continue their amazing work. We’re counting on you!

It is with great sadness that we received the news that our friend and colleague, David White, passed away last night, aged 63, after a long battle with cancer. David was well known throughout the timber trade over many years before joining us in 2017, involved with a number of trade groups and committees in particular on timber preservation and highways projects. Always ready with a smile and a joke, and always keen to assist and advise wherever possible, David will be greatly missed by us all at A&J Scott. David was always a very strong family man and we send our sincere condolences to David’s wife, Laura, their children and all the family.

One of the UK’s leading independent sawmillers has appointed a new Sales Manager as it plans for further growth in the coming years. A&J Scott Ltd has announced the appointment of Dave Taylor, who will cover the south of England for the Northumberland based company.
Dave brings with him 35 years of experience in the UK timber trade, with a wealth of knowledge in A&J Scott’s key fencing market. Based in the Midlands, he will be well placed to build on the company’s service offering as demand from customers across the country continues to increase.
This follows a decade in which the family-owned company has increased the size of its main site by 20 acres and invested over £25 million in new capital equipment, including a major upgrade to the main sawmill, construction of a new fully automated bandmill, installation of a new log sorting and grading line and a state of the art processing and handling line for re-saw operations. The sustainability of the site has recently been assured with installation of a solar array to power the sawmills.
The company is now well positioned for sustained growth in its main markets for fencing products, railway sleepers and other outdoor timbers in the years ahead, building on its record of delivering quality sawn timber products and high standards of customer service to its loyal base of customers across the UK. The company has also extended its product offer, adding NHSS4 highways standard fencing to its existing range.
Dave said, “I’m thrilled to be joining A&J Scott. I’ve known the company for a number of years and have been impressed with the growth and development of the business. With the plans already in place and further opportunities ahead, this is an exciting time for me to develop further alongside the company”.
Managing Director, Robert Scott, said, “We’re delighted to have someone of Dave’s calibre and experience join the business and we’re looking forward to him contributing to the team as we continue to enhance our sawmilling output, product quality and service standards in the years ahead.”
Office opening hours are 8am – 5pm, Monday – Friday.

A Northumberland sawmill and timber products supplier is preparing to generate sustainable power for its site to equal the sustainable nature of its timber products.
A&J Scott Ltd, based at Wooperton in Northumberland, is installing a new solar array on land adjacent to its main sawmills and production facilities, which will generate sufficient energy to power its main dayshift production, with plans to create future battery storage to power its nightshift working.
The array will cover approximately 5 acres of land, with additional power provided by roof-mounted panels on the site’s sawmill buildings. The initial solar panel installation, representing an investment of over £2.5m, will generate 3.5MW of electricity and save almost 1500 tonnes per year of carbon.
The solar array marks the latest in a series of investments as the family owned business plans for future growth. Also nearing completion at the moment, the company is extending its main sawmill building, to integrate a newly constructed sorting line for sawn boards.
Having completed the purchase of a 20-acre site adjoining its main sawmill site 2 years ago, the company has now installed a new high speed log grading line along with the solar array. This follows a decade in which the business has invested over £25 million in new capital equipment, including a major upgrade to the main sawmill, construction of a new fully automated bandmill, installation of a new state of the art processing and handling line for re-saw operations at the site and also the purchase in 2019 of the Chirnside Sawmill near Duns in the Scottish borders.
The company is now well positioned for sustained growth in its main markets for fencing products, railway sleepers, garden product components and other outdoor timbers in the years ahead, building on its record of delivering quality sawn timber products and high standards of customer service to its loyal base of customers across the UK. The company has also extended its product range, adding NHSS4 highways standard fencing to its existing fencing ranges.
Managing Director, Robert Scott, said, “Our excellent relationships with our customers give us the confidence to plan and invest for the future. Our main timber products are in their very nature one of the most sustainable products around, and it is exciting to match that sustainability in the energy generation for our site. We are laying the foundations to continue the company’s success well into the future.”
Office opening hours are 8am – 5pm, Monday – Friday.
