About Mid-Sussex Timber Co Ltd

Mid-Sussex Timber was established in 1929 by R D Waters; it remains a family business. His sons Tim & Simon then took over in the 1980’s & are still active in the business. It is currently between the second & third generations with his Grandson Alex running the day to day business as Managing Director and his Granddaughters Cara, Liberty and Tiffany part of the team.

The first branch to open was East Grinstead in 1929. A second site opened in College Road, Haywards Heath in 1933. In 1966 the site of approx. three acres in Forest Row was purchased. This branch is the Head Office and also the main base for the very large stocks of Timber and Panel Products that are all stored under cover. The fourth site is in Crowborough and commenced operating under the Mid-Sussex Timber name in 1994.
