Raymond Henderson

Raymond's decision over four decades ago to pursue a career in forestry was driven by his desire to be involved in an industry that was actually delivering both sustainable goods and public benefit. He's never regretted that decision and has seen the sector grow beyond his expectations.

The ability to deliver something that's truly tangible with wide-ranging benefits is what excites Raymond, who can literally see the projects he has been involved in grow and develop into long-term legacies. So too, his relationships with clients, some of whom he is proud to have worked with for 30+ years.

With a focus on servicing a small number of key clients, Raymond has been instrumental in developing one of the UK's largest and best quality forestry portfolios for a major institutional investor. A three decade-long project which is ongoing and includes renewable installation and new planting opportunities.

One of the foremost experts in his field, Raymond has been closely involved in the establishment of large-scale native woodland restoration schemes on Highland Scottish estates thus adding to the conservation value, habitat creation and visual amenity of some of the country's most beautiful locations.
