About Us

Our History

WMS was formed over 20 years ago and has grown to become one of the leading forest management providers in the Central North Island region.

We provide personalised forest and woodlot harvesting and log marketing solutions. We also undertake full forest management services to a diverse mix of clients from corporate forest estates to farm woodlots in the Central North Island region. We still manage to keep our feet planted firmly on the forest floor, with our ground-up approach to forest management, rather than running operations from behind the computer screen.

This success is a direct result of strong client and industry relationships, with a large amount of work coming from referrals. WMS has a solid team of proven contractors and prides itself on using local contractors where possible. WMS has strong ties with key domestic and export log customers to maximise client returns, in a wide geographical spread.

Wood Marketing Services is owned and managed by Carl Hanna and Duncan Mills.
We are well supported by our experienced team of staff in administration and operational positions.

Mission Statement

WMS prides itself on providing a professional, competent and personal forestry service to ensure our clients receive the maximum return on their forestry investment. We as the business owners deal directly with clients to provide a hands-on service to ensure the best result for your forest or woodlot. At the end of the day it’s our reputation and livelihood on the line so we have to get it right!
