Royston Scaffolding support colleague and ex-serviceman on Remembrance Sunday

Cambridge & Hertfordshire based Royston Scaffolding Ltd were on hand to aid the Remembrance Sunday commemorations, with support in particular for one of their colleagues and ex-serviceman, Richard Wright.

Richard served in the army for almost ten years and was deployed to Iraq, where he was unlucky enough to be struck not by enemy fire, but by lightning! The ex-serviceman, now a Trainee Scaffolder, commented: “I don’t recall much of the incident but I do remember when I was airlifted I was keen to see out of the window at the incredible view! I count my lucky stars and I try not to dwell on it too much as there are other servicemen who aren’t always so lucky.”

Partner of Royston Scaffolding Ltd, Elliott McGrath added: “We’re so grateful to have Richard on the team here. Ex-servicemen can provide so much to ours and others’ industries and Richard is an excellent example of that. Scaffolding day-in-day-out is a tough job and Richard’s teamwork and leadership skills, not to mention his humour, are incredible.”

Now in their 16th year, the Construction News Specialist Awards awards recognise the outstanding achievements of specialist contractors, and look to highlight the very best inspirational businesses and projects from within industry. After completing an initial entry online Rose System Scaffolding will now meet with an independent judging panel, and compete against 6 other finalists to hold the title Access and Scaffolding Specialist of the Year. The winner will then be announced at the awards evening in London on 25 March 2020.

Construction Extraordinaire

A new façade display support scaffold has been constructed by the Masons Scaffolding team to announce the re-opening of Louis Vuitton’s flagship store on New Bond Street, in London.

The very exacting and complex drilled scaffold framing configuration was completed for Castletech Group. Masons Scaffolding carried out all internal and external scaffolding throughout – often providing out-of-hours services to meet a very tight programme. This included the installation of birdcages, temporary roofs, suspended cantilevers, beamed loading areas, hoarding scaffolding (plus shrink wrap) and staircases.

The new structure was erected using precise measurements and angles to accommodate pre-engineered display using string lines and more.
