Dirk Viviers, pictured left, store manager and co-owner of Timbercity in Somerset West, chats to a customer during a recent customer evening. Timbercity’s market is largely smaller contractors and the avid DIY person, both of whom enjoy professional service from the long-serving team, which boasts a combined 100 years experience. The business is owner-run which, says Dirk, means that either he or business partner, Stuart Oliver are always in the shop, and available to customers. “If there is a problem, we’re here to sort it out”.
