Premium Timber & Hardware trading as Big Hammer Building Centre (formerly Premium Forest Timbers) first commenced operations in 1991 to supply all the demanding needs of Townsville's then emerging building industries.

John Geaney, who had a long history and a wealth of experience in the Timber Industry specialised in the supply of high quality building timbers, roof trusses and cabinet timbers to the building, furniture and cabinet making trade markets operating in the North.

Steady growth over the next few years and a huge recognition from all Building Industry players saw the operation expanding to larger premises during 1995. These new premises allowed for higher levels of stock, speeding up the supplies to the trade and allowing the establishment of a larger builders hardware division creating a true one stop environment for all our busy builders

The emergence of the rapidly expanding DIY market created a professional environment for all home handymen to enjoy the exact same quality products and experience the exact same level of professional service and both divisions flourished simultaneously thereby creating, 12 years later, this most advanced and client focussed supply company servicing all the needs of Northerners, truly an enviable and unique position in the Timber and Hardware markets.
