AN £80,000 investment programme has been completed at a timber firm.

The 10-month redevelopment of the former Austin Timber site in Blackburn followed the multi-million acquisition of Howarth Timber last year.

The investment has included a new fleet of delivery vehicles, a new showroom and computerisation.
