The wood based materials manufacturer is part of an international, family owned, Austrian business, which has been based in Hexham for the last 38 years. It employs over 600 people and makes chipboard panels in the UK for the furniture and interior design industry, and structural flooring for the housebuilding industry.
The wildlife charity has a number of nature reserves near EGGER’s Hexham plant including Juliet’s Wood, Tony’s Patch and South Close Field and is particularly impressed with the company’s commitment to the environment.
