LAYHER SUCCESS PROMPTS STOCKHOLDING AND TRAINING GROWTH

Layher UK who have achieved a leading position in the system scaffold field in this country are announcing a significant development to their Letchworth premises. The move, which sees an enhancement of both stockholding capability and support services to customers, is set to build on the success that the organisation has achieved during the past three years and since first entering the UK market in 1982.

The facility, which has acted as Head Office, administrative centre and principal UK depot for the company for nine years, has now gained a further 2250 sq. m. (7382 sq. ft.) of external space for storage. In addition, the company is taking back the operation of another building on the site – which to date has been sublet to a third party and which offers a further 2500 sq. m. (8202 sq. ft.) of space – to create, for the first time, a dedicated Head Office based training centre and additional internal storage. Managing Director, Sean Pike, points out that this is planned to be fully operational by the end of the year.

“The increasing use of modular system scaffolding in general in this country has combined with the success of both our established equipment and new products that we have recently introduced to create ever growing customer demand,” comments Sean Pike. “This has meant that we are committed to ensuring that our delivery and support capability remains second to none which, in terms of stockholding, has prompted us to improve the facility that we already have at Letchworth, and at our facility in Livingston, Scotland – which will also benefit from an extension to yard and office facilities.

“We are confident that this will allow us to react even more quickly to customer requirements and, together with the creation of the new dedicated training centre alongside, means we are now better placed than ever to maintain our success long into the future,” he adds.

Since their arrival in this country, Layher UK can point to a long list of installations for their modular scaffolding, protection systems, stairtowers and accessories. The move now to develop the site, which will continue to operate in conjunction with Layher’ existing office and support facility in Scotland, is seen as a positive step and one which will be welcomed by everyone in the building, construction and specialist access sectors.
