Timber Development UK (TDUK) and the North West Timber Trade Association (NWTTA) will host a seminar in Liverpool to help timber businesses prepare for the introduction of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).

The event, taking place on 13 Oct at the Crowne Plaza Liverpool City Centre, will provide guidance on the new legislation and its implications for businesses across the timber supply chain.

The session will be led by Darren Mayes, TDUK’s supply chain compliance manager, who will explain the regulation’s key requirements, identify which businesses it applies to and outline the responsibilities of organisations throughout the timber supply chain.

Delegates will also receive guidance on preparing for compliance, including resource planning, responding to customer enquiries, managing costs and implementing compliant processes.

The seminar will include updates on UK regulatory developments, forthcoming TDUK support and events, third-party EUDR services, and guidance on moving timber products to and from Northern Ireland.

Designed as an interactive event, the programme will include audience participation, quizzes and practical exercises.

The event is free for NWTTA members. Non-members can attend for £45 plus VAT per person.
