Tilhill Forestry

The Background

Tilhill Forestry is the UK’s leading sustainable forestry and timber harvesting company, with locations across the country. They manage extensive areas of UK forests and woodlands, providing services to commercial and investment clients. Their expertise encompasses forest and woodland management, timber harvesting, and marketing, contributing significantly to the UK’s forestry sector.

The Challenge

Prior to our collaboration, Tilhill Forestry had recently launched a new website developed by another agency. However, the website did not meet their expectations. They anticipated a fully custom site but found themselves with limited capabilities to manage content, unable to modify even basic text or images. This restriction necessitated paying the previous agency for content changes. Additionally, they were bound by an expensive maintenance contract, making the website unexpectedly costly and inefficient for their operational needs.

Our Solution

We partnered closely with Tilhill Forestry’s internal marketing team to develop a completely new, fully custom brochure website tailored to their requirements. Our approach included:

1. Modern Design: We crafted a fresh and contemporary design that leverages Tilhill Forestry’s extensive photography, effectively showcasing their forestry services and projects.
2. Enhanced Content Management: Implemented advanced content editing capabilities through a modular content builder, empowering the marketing team to create rich and engaging content without external assistance.
3. Contractor Portal Development: Developed a dedicated contractor portal, enabling on-site contractors to access training materials and documentation directly from the website, streamlining communication and resource distribution.
4. Cost-Effective Maintenance: Established a user-friendly content management system, reducing reliance on external agencies for updates and minimising ongoing maintenance costs.

The new website aligns with Tilhill Forestry’s commitment to sustainability and excellence in forestry management. It provides a dynamic platform that enhances user experience, facilitates efficient content management, and supports their operational and marketing objectives. This strategic enhancement positions Tilhill Forestry to continue leading in the UK’s forestry sector, delivering exceptional services to their clients.
