About Us

Andrew & Co is a family run business based in South Lincolnshire which was established in 1947 by Mr Colin Andrew.

Starting from a small saw mill on our site it has grown to be one of the largest independent saw mills in the local area.

In the early days we supplied vegetable boxes and bulb trays to the local farmers and growers, later on we also added large storage boxes and pallets to our range. As time went on, surrounding buildings and land were purchased.

By the 1970’s a large unit was built to increase our production. In the mid 1970’s we started to open up to the public on Saturday mornings as there were many enquiries for timber. Later, customers would begin asking for screws, nails, hinges and brackets etc and the idea for a shop was formed.

In 1980 family members Derek and Gillian Richardson joined the company with the aim to develop the shop and other parts of the business. In the early 1990’s the shop was moved into the building it is now.

Over the years there has been a decline in the need for timber based trays and boxes as cardboard and plastic containers are now used. However the demand for timber and DIY products has increased.

From our stock holding of over 15,000 lines, we can offer carcase whitewood and planed redwood timber, sheet material, fencing, trellis, garden tools, paint and decorating products, hand and power tools and lots lots more, in fact its well worth a visit to have a good look around.

Did you know? Our Timber Mill can cut and plane timber to size, no job is to small and we provide lots of friendly advice as well.

We look forward to seeing you…
