Dryburn Logs
“I like to support local, and having worked with EssentialsMAG before, I knew Vicky was a trusted pair of hands.”
Building a cost-effective, brand-boosting website with EssentialsMAG
A website creation case study
Dryburn Logs is a Wrexham-based supplier of high-quality, sustainably sourced firewood and kindling. Located in Is-y-Coed, the company proudly holds Woodsure’s ‘Ready to Burn’ accreditation and seasons its logs naturally for at least two years to ensure moisture levels stay under 20%. With free local delivery on orders over £100 and a no-contact service, Dryburn Logs combines quality, convenience and sustainability.
By bringing together environmental responsibility, strong local roots and a modern approach to customer service, Dryburn Logs is a great example of how a traditional product can thrive in today’s digital world — making it a perfect fit for an EssentialsMAG case study.
A local business with a clear vision
Director Martin Bolton launched Dryburn Logs after a long and successful career, seeking a better balance between work and family life.
“I’d tried semi-retirement but soon realised the slower pace didn’t suit me,” Martin explains. “Dryburn Logs gives me the perfect balance - busy through autumn and winter, quieter in spring and summer, when the family and I can enjoy our motorhome.”
Having previously advertised in EssentialsMAG, Martin knew the publication’s reach and reputation. So, when he saw that Vicky had expanded her offering to include website design and build, he didn’t hesitate to get in touch.
“I always prefer dealing with one reliable point of contact, and Vicky is always at the end of the phone. I like to support local, and having worked with EssentialsMAG before, I knew she was a trusted pair of hands.”
A professional website without the big price tag
For many small businesses, a website can seem daunting or expensive - but Vicky’s cost-effective model made it simple and affordable for Martin.
“Vicky’s approach meant there was no large upfront outlay. For a small monthly fee, I now have a professional, polished website complete with online shop, design, build, maintenance, updates and hosting. It was all included,” says Martin.
“I’ve had so many compliments on how easy the site is to use and how good it looks. All I had to do was provide my product list and photos, and Vicky handled the rest. When I need updates, she turns them around quickly - it couldn’t be easier.”
Would Martin recommend EssentialsMAG’s website services?
“Yes, absolutely - and I already have, several times! Vicky produced a lot of work for not a lot of money, and I couldn’t be more delighted.”
Vicky Heathfield, Owner of EssentialsMAG, adds:
“Martin’s enthusiasm for his business really shines through, and it was a pleasure to bring his vision online. His website reflects the authenticity and local focus that make Dryburn Logs so special. It’s always rewarding to help a community business grow - especially one that values sustainability and service as much as Martin does.”
