"Feedback from UK timber importers in the aftermath of the Brexit referendum vote on 23 June is that their most immediate concern is the exchange rate."

On the other hand prices of things in general have been fairly flat in the last few years.
You only need look at the interest rates to see that. The Bank of England has been trying to raise inflation for years unsuccessfully.
I also feel that people and companies are using Brexit as an excuse to increase prices! Maybe some of these people and companies would have preferred to have stayed in the EEC!
This is suppliers looking to blame something other than the fact that timber prices are increasing while putting on a price increase of their own.
I was shocked yesterday when i went to get railway sleepers and they where smaller than usual only 8ft instead off 9ft and inch narrower as well. They coming from america now instead off russia so im told. But it same as all products pay the same for less amount. Chocolate bars is my example hmmm chocolate.
I got a call from my parts dealer and he said prices going up by 10% because off brexit but i figure its just the currency exchange and its easyier to say brexit.
Cant really blame them if u can up prices you get more profit. I had to up my prices when i started paying pensions for my employees but thats a whole other thread lol
