Proud gaffer moment.

A couple of years ago, a young Uttoxeter lad called Brad Moore walked through the gates at Crest Scaffolding.

Two years of early starts, hard graft and listening to the old boys on site later, and THIS WEEK Brad passed his CISRS Part One.

A special thank you to Steve Allan and the team at Aspects Total Training Ltd in Coventry for getting Brad there. You've done him proud.

Brad is an absolute pleasure to work with. Don't get me wrong, he has his moments 😂 (don't we all, R kid), but he turns up, gets stuck in and never stops learning. He's getting ticketed fast and his future is very bright.
I don't say this as a cliché: this kid will achieve in this industry.

He should be an inspiration to young people his age. Scaffolding isn't just a job. It's a real career, with real training and real progression, and Brad is living proof.

Well done, Mr Moore. Next stop, Part Two, and we'll be sharing the journey.

Wednesday's Budget gave contractors something to plan around rather than guess at.

The 5p fuel duty cut has been extended to the end of June 2027, and the National Living Wage rises 3.9% to £13.21 an hour from 1 April 2027.
For a scaffolding firm, that's transport and labour, the two biggest moving parts in any quote.

At Crest Scaffolding Ltd's Midlands branch in Uttoxeter, our view is simple: clients deserve early, honest conversations about cost, not surprises halfway through a job.

If your 2027 programme is being priced now, talk to your scaffold contractor now. A clear scope, a realistic programme and well-planned logistics save more than any last-minute haggle.

How are you building next year's cost changes into your tenders? I'd like to hear how others are approaching it.

The latest UK construction PMI matches what a lot of Midlands contractors are talking about.

In S&P Global's September survey, commercial building came in at 48.5, close to level.

Housebuilding stayed the weakest area at 40.7. Overall activity is still falling, but at the slowest rate since January.

For a scaffolding contractor, that mix matters. Commercial and industrial frames need careful design, programme discipline and tight inspection regimes. Housing work needs speed, tidy sites and crews who respect the homes people will live in.

At Crest Scaffolding Ltd's Midlands branch in Uttoxeter, we're set up to do both, and to keep the same standard whichever way the market swings.

Where are you seeing work right now: housing, commercial or infrastructure? I'd genuinely like to hear how it looks from your side.

Last week, HSE Northern Ireland fined a scaffolding firm £20,000 after a collection driver was struck by a falling board during a dismantle.

The investigation found the exclusion zone hadn't been properly controlled. The inspector called it "entirely preventable".

That one's stuck with me, because the man who was hurt wasn't on the scaffold. He was there to pick up kit.

At Crest Scaffolding Ltd's Midlands branch in Uttoxeter, strikes and collections get the same care as the erect: controlled lowering, a properly marked zone, and nobody walks in who isn't part of the job. Drivers included.

With the clocks gone back, more collections now happen in the late-afternoon dark, so this matters even more right now.

What's one thing your site does to make sure the exclusion zone is actually respected?

Only 17% of construction businesses employ an apprentice.

That's from CITB's apprenticeship report, published this month, and it stuck with me. The same report says starts would need to at least double to meet demand, and in England only 58% of apprentices complete their training.

In scaffolding we feel that gap every week. Good scaffolders aren't found, they're made: on site, alongside experienced hands, with proper CISRS training behind them.

At Crest Scaffolding Ltd's Midlands branch in Uttoxeter, we see bringing on the next generation as part of how we grow. It takes time and supervision, but it's how you build a crew you can trust at height.

Small firms: what's stopping you taking on an apprentice? Genuinely keen to hear.

33 years of Crest Scaffolding Ltd.
Incorporated on 27 October 1993 and still going strong.

From the early days through to NASC-accredited work across the country, this company has been built on graft, standards, and the people on the tools.

At Crest Scaffolding Ltd’s Midlands branch in Uttoxeter, we’re proud to be part of that story as we grow capacity, develop our team, and keep delivering proper access for customers across the Midlands.

Here’s to the next chapter - and to everyone who’s helped get us here: past and present.

Happy 33rd, Crest.

Huge congratulations to Brady Peake on getting his CISRS Part 2 card.

Brady’s a local Uttoxeter lad - and if you know him from boxing, you’ll know the graft that goes into anything he takes on.

That same work ethic has got him fully qualified after a long road on the tools.

At Crest Scaffolding Ltd Midlands he’s now stepping up to run his own team on our local domestic works.

Proper milestone for him, and a big step for how we serve jobs around Uttoxeter and the surrounding area.

Proud of you, Brady. Onwards.
