Founded by Stephen Davenport in 1989, Hystress Timber (as it was known) stocked ‘HySpan’ wood products which lead to the name Hystress.
Stephen's career began in the 1970's when he was responsible for managing a Melbourne timber yard. He soon decided he would go into business on his own. With his strong will and determination to make his new business succeed, Stephen set about buying and selling ‘new’ engineered timber products and other timber lines. As the business grew he found himself needing a new building to house his timber stocks.
In 1989 Hystress Timber moved to its current site in Cave Hill Road, Lilydale and continued to grow. As the facility expanded, Stephen was also able to expand his offerings and started manufacturing trusses. As a result, the business changed its name to Hystress Timber and Trusses.
After Stephen retired in 2016 his son, Rob Davenport, took over management of the business. Rob started working in the business as a delivery driver after finishing school, he now manages the business and looks after the truss plant while his colleague, Mark Johnson, runs the timber sales.
“Customer service is paramount to our business. We provide individual personalised service to our customers,” tells Rob who takes much pride in the family business.
"Whether you are a developer, small builder or owner builder, we can help you with all your timber and trusses from small extensions to larger project based work."
