Two major UK scaffolding companies have merged together following BrandSafway's acquisition of Lyndon Scaffolding.

Lyndon Scaffolding will be combined with BrandSafway's scaffolding and access company SGB to become Lyndon SGB.

Dave Witsken, president of Energy and Industrial for BrandSafway, said: "This is an exciting combination. It allows us to bring together a full range of scaffolding solutions — plus deliver excellence in a suite of other access technologies for our customers. By combining the assets, expertise and reputation of Lyndon Scaffolding with SGB, we will be able to expand our service solutions in key major cities in the UK, broaden our overall footprint and accelerate our growth."


Robert Lynch, CEO of Lyndon Scaffolding, commented: "We look forward to being on the same team with SGB. SGB is one of our industry's best-known and well-respected names. By working together and sharing our expertise and best practices, Lyndon SGB will be able to offer customers more products and services and improved solutions."

Lyndon Scaffolding has worked on some the UK's largest projects, and its portfolio includes JubileeBridge at Runcorn, BBC Broadcasting House, Tate Britain, Severn Bridge, Birmingham Gateway Station, Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, and the Scottish Parliament Building.

Mick Herke, managing director of Brand Energy & Infrastructure Services in Europe, added: "By combining resources, Lyndon SGB will have more locations and greater depth of expertise, and we will be able to leverage our scale to better serve customers. Both Lyndon Scaffolding and SGB are strong companies with an emphasis on excellent quality and service. Together as Lyndon SGB, we can create more value for clients."
