Foskett Willows has a ready supply of biomass in the form of willow off-cuts.

Biomass Log Dryer | Logs West Midlands

Logs West Midlands Ltd is an established firewood merchant, processing up to 2,800m³ of firewood/annum. Installing a GlenFarrow Biomass Log Drier has helped them guarantee continuity of supply of dry firewood, reduce the amount of wood they need to stockpile and has meant they can use renewable biomass fuel to power the driers.

GF125 Biomass Boiler Installation | MK Robinson

MK Robinson used a GlenFarrow Biomass Boiler to enable them to dramatically cut drying times and increase the volume of wood they are able to process.
