Timber product manufacturer celebrates 100 years of achievement
Family business Scotts of Thrapston has a proud reputation of turning timber into a range of products and has plenty to celebrate as 2020 marks its centenary.
Well known for its summerhouses, stables, American barns, garages, car barns, pavilions, roof trusses, joinery, engineered fl ooring and education buildings, Scotts of Thrapston was founded in 1920 by James Scott, and had humble beginnings delivering tools and services to local farmers. The mantle then passed to Douglas Scott and the business is now run by the third and fourth generations, chairman David Scott and his son James, managing director.
The business started out producing products such as wheelbarrows and ladders and offered a selection of agricultural buildings, including poultry houses. Nowadays, that product range has grown and consolidated, seeing Scotts become the leading stable manufacturer in the UK, supplying products into the racing, show jumping, dressage and eventing worlds. For nearly seven decades, the business has been at the forefront of summerhouse manufacture and produces a range of ethically sourced hardwood summerhouses, which was launched last year. The company is proud to be one of the longest exhibiting trade stands at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, fi rst appearing in the mid-1960s.
Scotts also has a strong timber engineering business and enjoys a solid reputation with housebuilders, from volume to self-builders. As part of the centenary activities, the company has also carried out a corporate identity refresh to consolidate its digital presence, including updating its logo and branding to refl ect the fact that the company is engrained with a passion for wood.
