Honouring the past, building the future. LAYING THE FOUNDATIONS
WHO WE ARE TODAY
TFX celebrated our 20th year in business in 2022, and we were reminded of the history that has brought us to this milestone. Not just recent history, but the pathways forged long ago that ultimately lead to TFX as it’s known today.
TFX is one of the most trusted resellers of high-quality construction and hardware supplies across Sydney and greater NSW.
While the Clark family are the modern day names associated with the business and rise of Timberfix, as it was known until 2023 ahead of changing the name to TFX, it all began in the late 19th Century, with Mr William Slattery, Great, Great Grandfather of TFX General Manager, Wayne Clark & Director Nelson Clark.
We also carry a wide range of adhesives, epoxy products, degreasers, masonry anchors and safety signage, all of which are designed to make construction processes faster and easier. We know the market’s demands and ensure our online construction products meet customer requirements.
William Slattery was born in the Oberon district in 1855 and came to Lithgow in 1882. He worked at Macarthur’s sawmill at Oakey Park for 4 years. Later he became interested in a sawmill in association with Mr E Goss, eventually securing full possession of the business. Slattery Sawmill continued for some years and then around 1921 he took in his son in law, Arthur Williams, as a partner and the mill became known as Slattery & Williams. Later it became known as Slattery & Henderson, which continued until around 1958. It was situated near where the Lithgow Workmen’s Club (the oldest registered club in NSW) is now located. William Slattery became Treasurer of the Lithgow Workmen’s Club in 1893 and held this position until 1945. He was President of the Lithgow Hospital for 20 years and served as an alderman on the Lithgow Municipal Council for 25 years. William died in 1946 aged 90. This fascinating image dates back to 1890, testimony to the experience TFX has in the industry.
