Our Heritage

Founded in 1880 by Arthur Linnell, we have enjoyed over 140 years of supplying high-quality British timber to all corners of the UK. Today, Linnell Bros Ltd occupies a purpose-built, ten-acre premises just outside the village of Silverstone, Northampton, just a few miles away from our original location in the village centre.

Over the years, we have broadened our offering and now house a complete range of timber products. Many of these are manufactured on-site in our workshop by local craftsmen using traditional construction methods. We only work with the best quality, sustainably-sourced timber which is pressure-treated with preservatives, on site, in our treatment plant.

Today, the company is run by the fourth generation of the Linnell family. The cousins Roger, John and James Linnell are at the forefront of the business with the next generation, Callum and Annie, coming through.

An ever-growing supply chain and consumer demand has led to great increases on our capacity. Consequently over £1 million has recently been invested in two brand new high pressure timber treatment plants, along with the construction of several new sheds. Our focus is to provide the highest quality UK fencing and timber at competitive prices, along with competent and knowledgeable customer support.
