On the 11th of November 2019, we are proud to have celebrated the 100th anniversary of George Hill Timber. Our business has grown from strength to strength over the past 10 decades - driven by four generations of the Hill family. We’re incredibly proud to share the commitments, passions, and values our founder and great-grandfather had on day one.

Our technologies, product range, and location may have changed over the last 105 years. George Hill, a Saddleworth farmer, became inspired by the American timber industry during his travels in the early 1900s. So much so, he established his own timber business back home in Oldham.

George Hill Timber was founded on the 11th November 1919 - exactly one year after WW1 ended. With the help of his son Wilfred and his brother Roland, George set up premises in converted cottages on Water Street, Oldham. His younger son, George Frank, joined the business three years later.
