100+ young performers. Two shows. One legendary Queen soundtrack.

Huge congratulations to On The Mark Youth Theatre on a spectacular We Will Rock You at Storyhouse this weekend, where the roof was well and truly raised. 👏

Behind every great stage is solid support, and we're proud to have played a small part in helping Chester's brightest young talent shine.

Backing the next generation. 💪

Over the past two weeks, we've had two brilliant young lads on work experience with us here at Palmers Scaffolding, Finley Duggan and Zach Gardner. Both from Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School.

They started last week and will finish at the end of this one, and it's been a pleasure having them on site.

They've thrown themselves in, asked good questions, and got a real feel for what a career in scaffolding actually looks like: the skill, the teamwork, and the pride that comes with it.

Bringing young people in like this matters to us. It's how the trade stays strong. Work experience opens the door, but our hope is that it plants a seed so that some of these lads leave school and see scaffolding and the wider construction industry as a genuine career worth pursuing, whether that's through an apprenticeship or otherwise.

Finley and Zach, you've done yourselves proud. 👏

A big thank you to Colin Duggan and Paul Yates for helping make it happen.

If you know a young person who might be interested in an apprenticeship with us down the line, we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch!

We're incredibly proud to share the successful takedown of the SPAN 4 Protection Platform at Liverpool Street Station. 👏

This wasn't just a standard dismantle. Instead, it was an engineering feat. To meet strict program constraints for our client, Morgan Sindall, we moved away from traditional methods to something much more innovative.

🚩 The Challenge:
Dismantling a suspended scaffold platform measuring 50m x 12m and weighing 16 tonnes, all while minimising disruption to Network Rail and station stakeholders.

👷‍♂️ The Palmer's Solution:
With the expertise of our design partners at RDG Engineering, we lowered the entire platform from a height of 15 meters using 10 inverted Loadstar 2-ton hoists.

🌟 The Result:
✅ Efficiency: Preparation began at 07:00, and the entire structure was dismantled by 14:00 (all within a single Sunday shift!)
✅ Safety: Used real-time load cells to monitor winch parameters and ensure perfect load balancing.
✅ Innovation: Eliminated the need for a temporary mobile deck, significantly reducing manual handling and working at height.

Overall, this project is a testament to what can be achieved when innovation meets expertise. A massive shoutout to Tony Mileham, Stuart Batten, and the entire Palmers London Team for their meticulous planning and ex*****on.

Building a future for the scaffolding industry requires more than just high-quality equipment. We believe it requires investing in the next generation of talent.

Because at its core, it's a highly technical, safety-critical profession that forms the backbone of the entire construction and industrial sectors.

At Palmers, we're incredibly proud of our commitment to apprenticeships and our ongoing mission to promote scaffolding as a credible, long-term career path.

This dedication can be seen in action at our facility with Reuben Gregory and Liam Maude. 👏

By providing Reuben and Liam with the mentorship and hands-on experience they need, they aren't just learning a trade. They're mastering the complex engineering, rigorous safety standards and precision required to work on some of the UK’s most significant infrastructure.

For our leadership team, this investment in professional standards is non-negotiable. Paul Duggan and Liam Duggan remain committed to elevating the status of the industry, ensuring that apprentices like Reuben and Liam view scaffolding as a long-term, stable career path with no ceiling on where they can go.
