Josh Turnbull

The Timber Processors: Josh Turnbull is the Green Mill Manager at Neville Smith Forest Products. Neville Smith Forest Products is a leading Australian hardwood sawmilling company and a key supplier of high-quality timber products. Operating multiple sawmills nationwide, they specialise in processing a diverse range of hardwood species, catering to various market segments, including structural and engineered wood products, flooring and decking. Neville Smith Forest Products plays a significant role in the Australian timber industry with a commitment to sustainable forestry practices and efficient production processes.

"We've definitely seen a bit of ambiguity around supply, or continuity of supply, with the exit of the Victorian forests in the native space, and I can assure you that the continuity of supply in Tassie is great, now and into the future. And obviously we've got the estates of the plantation yields coming online in the very near future. So I would say it's readily available and it is very, very sustainably harvested."
