Tilhill Forestry, the UK’s leading forestry business and a member of BSW Group, is delighted to announce the acquisition of the business and assets of specialist timber harvesting company Duffy Skylining Ltd.

This strategic acquisition allows Tilhill Foresty to further expand its technical harvesting capabilities, following significant investment in its core fleet over the past couple of years.

Duffy Skylining specialises in harvesting on steep and challenging terrain, utilising advanced skylining techniques and operating with three highly skilled crews.

Founded in 2018 and based in Inverness, Duffy Skylining predominantly works along the west coast of Scotland and has been instrumental to various projects, including on the A82.

Graeme Kemp, harvesting director at Tilhill Forestry, said: “We are thrilled to further enhance our steep ground harvestings operations with the acquisition of Duffy Skylining.

“The specialist fleet will allow us to harvest in some of the UK’s most complex forests, and the expert knowledge of the team is second to none. We have a great working relationship already and are very excited to build on this as we look to lead the timber harvesting sector.”

Calum Duffy, founder and owner of Duffy Skylining, added: “This is a very positive move, both for our business and the wider industry. Our team are the very best at what they do, with safety top of the agenda, and joining forces with Tilhill makes for an incredibly compelling service offer.”

Duffy Skylining and its assets, including 12 employees and 12 machines – consisting of skylines, harvesters, forwarders and an excavator – will be integrated into the existing Tilhill Forestry business and brand. Calum Duffy will continue to manage and direct all operations in the specialist division.
