Bryan Elliott BSc (For), NZCF.

Bryan graduated from the Fletcher Challenge Forestry Management Programme in New Zealand in 1984, gaining the NZ Certificate of Forestry, specifically orientated towards NZ silviculture and mensuration. After a two-year period of managing estates for a large UK forestry management company in SE England, Bryan returned to New Zealand in 1991 to gain a Forestry Management Degree at the University of Canterbury School of Forestry, Christchurch. Bryan then went on to develop large-scale skyline harvesting operations in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, NZ. Using his harvesting expertise, he returned to the UK to operate as Area Manager, covering North and Mid Wales and the Marches, for a large Harvesting and Marketing company.

Bryan brings a commercial marketing and harvesting perspective that will provide an opportunity to maximise timber incomes for clients during the current period of imperative rebuilding within the UK timber trade. Based in Devon, Bryan's focus is also to develop woodland management opportunities in SW England.
