Our Story: Chapter 1

Everydaytimber was created in January 2025, with the goal of selling timber online to anyone who needs it, as an extra income stream for my father's business; Cargo Handling Specialists. He started his company in 1995 and has built it from the ground up to support him and his family. 

I, Liam Bottomley, started at Cargo Handling Specialists working for my father in January of 2025, and my first idea was to build an online timber retail store, with visions of expanding to more than just timber. I approached my father with this idea, he gave me the green light, and told me to make it happen. I had no prior website or eCommerce experience, but I was really excited to start building something that would one day add value to the business. My goals were simple; get the online store up and running, and make sales. 

At the time of writing this, I have accomplished my first goal, which took me a month and a day. Making sales is now my priority and my main focus. It has be awesome to work with my dad, while having the freedom to go about achieving my own goals within the company, and learning as much as I can from him along the way. 

To close off Chapter 1, I would like to encourage anyone who buys, has thought about buying, or has never tried buying timber online, to give Everydaytimber.com a try. I promise you won't regret it, and I promise you will save money and more importantly, time.
