We are both happy and sad to announce that David Lyall, our Group Health & Safety Director has retired from Thomas Armstrong (Holdings) after 23 years’ service.
David’s last day at Thomas Armstrong was Friday 26 June when we had an unusually different, “socially-distanced” Presentation, outside Head Office at Flimby.
David has been integral part of our Company over the last 23 years. His contributions will always be valued and remembered and on behalf of everyone, we would like to wish him the best of luck for the future.
Thomas Armstrong (Timber) Ltd are delighted to announce that Emily Bailiff, our Trainee Timber Roof Truss Designer has been selected as Lakes College West Cumbria’s Apprentice of the Year.
On behalf of the Timber Limited Directors, Engineered Timber Director, Graeme Batey, presents Emily with a small gift in recognition of her recent achievement in becoming Lakes College Apprentice of the Year (all hands were duly sanitized before presentation was made, and social distancing rules were observed at all times).
Timber Limited Managing Director, Nicky Clifford commented "It is highly satisfying for our company when the young people we invest in reciprocate with maximum effort and commitment".
Emily’s first encounter with our business was whilst at school when she expressed an interest in Construction and Design.
Emily joined our Roof Truss and Timber Frame Design Department for a week’s Work Experience and during that time showed a high level of interest and enthusiasm.
At the age of sixteen Emily could have continued to study for her A Levels and then on to University. However, we discussed the opportunities that our company could offer her and she agreed to join us and follow a dedicated career pathway that gave her a more ‘hands on’ role whilst attending college to further her formal qualifications.
Emily has a bright future with our company, especially if she continues to show the levels of commitment that she has so far.
Well Done Emily, the Timber Limited Team are delighted for you and very proud.

STAY KIND: Hats off to the fab volunteers who run the Food Pantry at the The Settlement at Castle Hill. With social distancing in place things have been a bit tricky, but they managed to pull it out of the bag and get food parcels delivered across the town to people who needed them most.
Thanks go out to Hayley Bishop from Cumbria County Council and Allerdale Borough Council for support, volunteers from Thomas Armstrong (Construction) Ltd. who helped to unload boxes and divide up food and all the usual Food Pantry volunteers who coped with the new restrictions with style and grace!

During a recent discussion, the Management Team at Thomas Armstrong (Timber) Ltd. decided that we needed to show our support and appreciation to some of our local front-line NHS hero’s.
All the staff on the ICU wards at WCH are spending many long hours fully suited in PPE which must be uncomfortable, exhausting and the need to re-hydrate frequently is obviously a necessity.
Offering the availability to ‘grab and go’ a nice cool drink is our way of saying “we are here for you” and “ we appreciate everything you are doing to fight this virus”.
We would like to say a huge thank you to Caterite Food & Wineservice Ltd who answered our call for supplies immediately and organised the delivery with precision (we also suspect you gave us an extra special deal on the price). Many thanks for your support and the staff at WCH also send their appreciation.
West Cumberland Hospital… please maintain the excellent work that you are doing to keep us all safe. The whole community appreciates everything you are doing for us.
