Bedford Future Pathway Update - 17 November 2025

We are pleased to announce a new Bedford customer in Mt Gambier: Whiteheads Timber Sales.

Here’s a bit of background about Whiteheads.

They are a proud family-owned business that has been operating for over 30 years. Based in Mount Gambier, they have grown to become one of SA’s leading timber suppliers, with retail yards across South Australia and Victoria.

Earlier this year, Whiteheads approached Bedford when they needed additional processing capacity. Since then, the Bedford Mt Gambier team has supported Whiteheads to process a range of timber products including decking, fence pickets and pallet material.

James McGregor, Whiteheads GM, said Bedford’s optimising and docking line has helped to lift their recoveries, particularly with reeded decking.

James said: “One of the biggest advantages is Bedford’s close proximity to our site, making the process flow seamless.”

“The Bedford Mt Gambier team are highly organised, and the products we receive are always presented to an exceptional standard, ready for market.”

“We look forward to continuing this partnership with Bedford and building on the great results achieved so far.”

We do too, James! Welcome to Bedford and we look forward to a long, fruitful partnership.
