Forestry England timber sales events and hardwood auction - marketing plan
The below marketing plan shows how we intend to allocate our total yearly volume production between the six Forestry England national online sales events and the annual Hardwood Auction organised by David James Auctioneers.
The volumes we plan to market at each sale event are also split between the direct production of round timber products and standing sales.
