M R Scaffolding wins Gold Award for considerate working practices

London-based M R Scaffolding has had its commitment to public safety and high-quality workmanship duly recognised with a Gold Award from the City of London Considerate Contractor Scheme.

The scheme encourages all building and civil engineering contractors working in the City to carry out their operations in a safe and considerate manner, with regard to pedestrians and road users.

M R Scaffolding is a second-generation family-owned business, established in 1974 by Michael and John Trayfoot and now managed by the founders’ sons, Matthew and John Jnr, alongside Frank Pickford as contracts director. A new modern and agile management style, coupled with strict quality controls and a continuous improvement programme, has seen the business grow in recent years.

Matt Trayfoot, M R Scaffolding’s health and safety director, said: “We take public safety and quality of workmanship very seriously and so we are thrilled to be selected as a Gold Award winner this year.”
