I do a lot of work using 12440 X 1220 mm (8' X 4') board and I would
mainly like to reduce wastage. I occasionally have it cut for me and
as my local store charges per cut it would be nice (but not essential)
to have something that optimises for the least number of cuts as an
option.

I have had a browse around the web and found several different
packages: Cutlist, Sheetlayout, Optimik, etc. I wonder if anyone has
used these and what are their opinions of them?

Been using Cutlist Plus for a number of years. Cuts, layout, inventory,
cost, etc can be custom configured for the way you work. The author is quick
with updates, and support is forthcoming when required, which has been rare
and mostly to do with my losing the authorization/update codes due to lost
e-mail.

Highly recommended.
