Our Story
An oak frame building success story
‘Great oaks from little acorns grow’ is a term often used to describe an organisation or a business which has developed from humble beginnings into a success story. We thought you may be interested in our journey to date so let us put you in the 'oak' frame.
Recent Years
2013 gave us the opportunity to re-locate to our new offices at Broadaxe Business Park and enable us to inject fresh energy into our business development and strategic planning. In order for the business to reflect its core products and services whilst retaining its original identity the company re-branded to Radnor Oak Ltd.
We are market leaders in the design and construction of free standing oak framed buildings where quality is never compromised and every effort is made to ensure our prices remain competitive. It is important to us that our products stand out from those of our competitors and are of the highest quality available to our customers.
The ‘chunky’ nature and appearance of Radnor Oak Buildings have become our signature – we could use smaller, less expensive sections of oak and timber simply to save money however we would then not be offering the highest quality.Middle Years
By the end of the 80’s the business had diversified significantly and traded as Radnor Timber Company. Our own sawmill was created to produce oak beams, planks and other structural timber components for the construction industry and included a timber processing plant with drying kilns to produce components for joinery products such as doors, windows, floors and staircases.
In 1990 we established our framing workshops to produce traditionally jointed oak frames and joinery products. Skilled local designers, carpenters, joiners and construction teams were employed to create our first oak framed buildings.
Bespoke oak frames became the mainstay of the framing business in the early days but pre-designed oak buildings were added to the products offered as the company quickly developed into oak framing and joinery specialists.Early Years
Our founder and Managing Director began his career working in the forests of Radnorshire and the surrounding counties. The business developed into a significant forestry contracting and woodland management company supplying UK sawmills with native broadleaf and coniferous forest products as well as planting and managing many thousands of trees.
