From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 2 March 1992 by Patrick Blencowe after operating as a sole trader since 1964 and continued to operate as a family-owned and managed business. Patrick identified a demand for professional scaffolding services in Salisbury and the surrounding area having previously worked within the building trade.
The business initially operated as a local contractor undertaking domestic and smaller commercial projects and, over time, developed an established presence within the regional construction sector.
Following incorporation, the Company expanded geographically and operationally across southern England, supported by the establishment of additional depots, including Basingstoke and Eastleigh. This enabled it to service a wider area including Wiltshire, Hampshire, Dorset, Somerset, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Surrey and Sussex. The Company broadened its offering to include commercial, residential and industrial scaffolding, as well as more complex access works and heritage projects, adopting a strategy of reinvesting in equipment, infrastructure and staff development.
