In his new role, Mr Madge will be acting on behalf of the British Woodworking Federation (BWF), where he is also sits on the executive board, to ensure that its 700-strong membership is well supported and represented in key areas.
“I am delighted to be invited to join the CTI board,” said Mr Madge. “As we move towards a low carbon economy, I believe that the CTI and the BWF together will play a vitally important role in ensuring that the use of timber and timber products remains at the top of the agenda and the natural choice for specifiers, designers and constructors.”
“Timber is clearly the prime building material for sustainable construction,” said Roy Wakeman, chairman of the CTI. “The CTI is committed to keeping timber in the forefront of growing our low carbon economy and utilising this fantastic material to help reverse the housing crisis in the UK.”
