According to the Timber Trades Journal: The UK's largest stockholder of reclaimed timber for flooring has gone into administration. Victorian Woodworks has its own sawmill in Upminster and a showroom in Knightsbridge. The company sources reclaimed timber from all over the world, which it processes into reclaimed and antique flooring. It also supplies new solid and engineered wood flooring. It has manufactured bespoke flooring and surface solutions for the UK's leading retail outlets, restaurants and leisure facilities, and teak flooring at the Royal Festival Hall, flooring for the Apple Store in Oxford Street, as well as the British Museum. Turnover is believed to be about £5.5m, with stocks worth more than £1m. The business moved to its current site from Barking in 2008, when it had around 70 staff.
