EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

An excellent opportunity to acquire a long-established, profitable and asset-rich scaffolding business operating across the South West of England. The business has traded successfully for over 55 years and has developed a strong regional reputation for safety, reliability, and professionalism across domestic, commercial, industrial, and specialist access projects.

The company benefits from strong and improving financial performance, a substantial fully owned operational asset base, and recent investment in staffing and management which has significantly reduced day-to-day reliance on the current owners. This represents a high-quality, transferable opportunity within a core UK construction support sector.

MANAGEMENT & STAFFING
