Norman Jones spent 60 years in the sawmill industry. The son of a timber man Charles Jones, Norman started work in the State Government Mill at Craven in 1921. In 1948 Norman built his first mill in Wingham with his business partner Charles Lee. 4 years later Norman bought out his partner's share and when the lease ran out on the Wingham property he bought a mill in Cowper Street Taree.

Next Norman along with his son-in-law Raymond Campbell, purchased the sawmill at Langley Vale from Alan Taylor Pty Ltd in 1963. The Langley Vale Mill then operated as Campbell & Jones Pty Ltd until a new mill was bought in Whitbread Street at it's current location in 1970.

In 1974 Raymond's son Greg, the company's present General Manager, joined the company. In 1979 the Cowper Street Mill closed down with all operations converting to the Whitbread Street Taree premises.

Today Campbell & Jones Pty Ltd is a timber yard with a wide customer base ranging from the large construction builder, hardware stores, truss plants, joinery shops, builders, owner builders to the hobby groups.

In 2008 on the 23rd October will see Campbell & Jones incorporated for 45 years.
