The STA’s mission is to support and facilitate the UK construction industry to increase the use of structural timber, thereby bringing further success to all stakeholders across the entire supply chain. 

Raising the bar for sustainability, quality, health and safety, skills training, and technical knowledge across the structural timber sector, the STA was established to drive awareness of the value and benefits structural timber can bring to the construction industry. The STA actively works to promote structural timber solutions through innovation, collaboration, and engagement with its members and their clients, and the wider construction community. 

The STA is run by a dedicated operations team and a board of directors comprised of leading experts from some of the UK’s leading structural timber companies across the supply chain. The STA works with members, clients, and stakeholders to ensure we represent the voice of the structural timber sector, with our commitment to grow the market for structural timber. 

Context has been working with STA on media relations and public affairs programmes since 2024.
