Anglo-German trade ties strengthen

The UK market is capturing German sawmillers' interest once again. A recent currency swing (since July the pound has strengthened against the euro by about six cents to €1.20), UK importers' willingness to pay higher prices, price rises in UK home-grown and Nordic sawn timber, and a growing realisation that the UK is now in economic recovery with a burgeoning housebuilding sector are all making the market more attractive to German mills.
