In 1995, redundancy forced a career rethink for founder,
Matt Carroll, and the Gower Charcoal Company was born.
The aim of the company was to convert neglected coppice into saleable
items, ie. barbeque charcoal. The Forestry Enterprise provided
a woodland site on Gower, South Wales, and continued to provide
support for the project.
Demand for other woodland products has increased
over the years and has overtaken charcoal production
in its importance to the business.
Woodland Management, as a service is also in demand
and one site has just received an Award of Merit from
the Forestry Commission.
