About Woodu and Our History

It Is More About You Than It Is About Us

This, 'about us' bit, is all well and good, and we will do it (below) as you need to know that you are in safe hands but, ultimately, it is about you. We know what it's like to have to spin lots of plates and wear different hats to thrive and, frankly, sometimes, to just survive.

In Your Corner

Maybe like you, we tried lots of companies to help us with our joinery business, but many just did not get it, or get us, or even understand what we did. We wished for a company that knew how to help us grow but also knew our industry. That company did not exist, so we created it.

We get you, we get what you do, we get the timber industry (it is complex, it can be tough). We understand your challenges. You are great at what you do, but maybe IT, tech, and marketing are not your things. Let's be honest, marketing companies and tech people were not our thing either - always trying to sell something we did not need or even understand, baffling us with science, scaring us with tech, but not really caring about us.

Whether you are a supplier, woodworker, timber merchant, industry professional, or anyone in the timber industry, Woodu is here to support your growth and success. We work with those who want to thrive, be the best they can for their customers, their employees, their communities. Whatever your challenge, we can help.

To show we know, here is a list of just a few of the things you have to deal with that we can help with, to save you time, heartache, effort, and money. To thrive in a competitive market:

  • Marketing
  • Getting Leads | Sales
  • Websites, Social Media, and all things online!
  • Quotes and Pricing
  • Legislation
  • Health and Safety
  • Timber and Wood Science
  • Recruitment
  • Getting Paid and Payment Challenges
  • Admin and General Paperwork
  • Artificial Intelligence - really? Yes, don't bury your head in the sand, embrace it, it will help your business. If it doesn't, it will certainly be helping your competitors.

Our History | Woodu

At Woodu, our roots run deep in the timber industry. Founded on a foundation of three generations of woodworkers, our history is a testament to our passion and dedication to the craft. Since the 1990s, we have been at the forefront of woodworking and construction, bringing extensive experience and expertise to every project we undertake.

Generations of Woodworking Excellence | Woodu

Our journey began with our forefathers, who were master woodworkers known for their exceptional skill and craftsmanship. This tradition of excellence has been passed down through the generations, shaping our values and commitment to quality. Over the years, we have honed our craft, combining traditional woodworking techniques with modern innovations to deliver outstanding results.

Experience in Construction and Procurement

Beyond woodworking, our experience extends to the construction industry. We have owned and operated successful construction and woodwork businesses, being involved in the procurement and buying side of construction projects. This dual perspective gives us a unique understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the industry, enabling us to provide comprehensive solutions that meet the needs of our clients.

Where information technology meets traditional craftsmanship, as well as our vast experience in the construction space, our founders have been thought leaders in tech. Owners of web development companies, expertise in both digital and traditional marketing, e-commerce, search engine optimisation, website hosting, domain administration, and client relationship management, all give us a unique edge in this specialised industry.

Pioneers in Online Marketing for Timber

In the early stages of the digital revolution, we recognized the potential of online marketing to transform the timber industry. We founded Wooduchoose, a pioneering platform that leveraged digital marketing to connect suppliers and customers. Our success in this venture demonstrated our ability to adapt to changing technologies and harness the power of the internet to drive business growth.

Building Woodu

With the launch of Woodu, we brought together our extensive experience in woodworking, construction, online marketing, and web development. Our mission was to create a comprehensive suite of services and products that support the growth of timber businesses in the digital age. From marketing and SEO to web development and lead generation, Woodu offers tailored solutions that help our clients thrive in a competitive market.

Commitment to the Timber Industry

Our commitment to the timber industry goes beyond business; it is a deeply ingrained part of who we are. We are passionate about promoting sustainable practices, supporting local suppliers, and fostering innovation within the industry. Through Woodu, we aim to elevate the standards of the timber trade, helping businesses achieve their goals and contribute to the industry's overall growth and success.

Looking to the Future

As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to our core values of quality, innovation, and customer service. We continue to evolve and expand our services, embracing new technologies and trends to stay ahead of the curve. Our history is a source of pride and inspiration, guiding us as we strive to make a lasting impact on the timber industry and support the success of our clients.
