CLOWS Top-based M&M Timber is looking to speed up production following the purchase of a vehicle that can move tons of wood with ease.

The acquisition of the Volvo L60E wheel loader is part of the firm's £100,000 investment in meeting the demands of the retail industry it serves.

The company is one of Europe's largest manufacturers of machine rounded timber and a leading supplier of timber products for fencing, landscaping, making garden furniture and equipment for play areas.
