History
Prior to establishing Nash Timbers, managing director David Nash was the part owner and the managing director of competing timber company Ironwood (originally known as Rozelle Recycled Building Center, when first opened by David Nash in 1993). However, by late 2002, David was seeking a new business direction. He resigned from his position as managing director whilst maintaining his part ownership in the company.
Soon after resigning from Ironwood, Nash, along with a number of colleagues from Ironwood, started up Nash Timbers. With its newfound objectives in place the business was quick to expand, aided by a loyal customer base already established from Ironwood. In 2005 Nash Timbers expanded to include its own floor laying division, Nash Finishes. The company has since provided timber to a number of large local developments and international developments such as the Hilton Hotel in Fiji and projects in New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States.
Recently Nash Timbers has gained importance as a Continuing Professional Education (CPE) and Master Builders Association (MBA) accredited industry informant, promoting the use of timber through sustainable methods, such as recycling or the FSC System. Nash Timbers' stance on environmental sustainability has helped lead the industry in a "greener" direction; David is applauded on the Greenpeace website for his work in developing and promoting the recycled timber industry, especially in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. As well as this, Nash Timbers was included in the Eco Smart section at the HIA Sydney Home show, a section that promoted environmentally sustainable building solutions.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of reform is always identical; it is the comparison of the idea with the fact. Our modes of living are not agreeable to our imagination. We suspect they are unworthy. We arraign our daily employments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“History, as an entirety, could only exist in the eyes of an observer outside it and outside the world. History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
