Birch Ply in the UK

So where is everyone getting their ply from? Is it all much of a muchness, or are there places to avoid?

Jheez, last time I built some boxes it was £45-50 a sheet from B&Q for 13lam ply....inflation is out of control.

Just got quoted £69+vat for 50 sheets of 18mm birch £59 on the 15mm and £50 on the 12mm, im tempted to switch to some high grade poplar for the smaller lighter cabinets, price is about the same , its just as stiff as birch and is pretty durable with a good coating.  Not sure id use it for heavy bass cabs though...

Hardly anyone in Norfolk even stocks it. Nearest one to me is £150/sheet for 18mm.

Robbins Timber was also very good in the past in SW maybe give them a call see if they still good.

Not sure if that's always been the case. I'd only use them if you were desperate to get a job out quickly, and no other supplier had the material in stock.
