Layher UK secures principal sponsorship of the ScaffEx scaffolding and access exhibition for another three years, strengthening industry event ties.
Layher UK has extended its commitment as the principal sponsor of ScaffEx for a further three years. The agreement ensures the access equipment manufacturer remains the primary supporter of the dedicated UK scaffolding and temporary works trade show through its upcoming editions.
ScaffEx serves as a major trade exhibition for the UK scaffolding and access sector, showcasing modern system scaffolding, safety equipment, design software, and site safety innovations. Layher's continued financial and operational backing offers long-term stability to the event, providing a consistent venue for manufacturers, contractors, and safety bodies to demonstrate advances in site access technology.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
For scaffolding contractors, access specialists, and general builders buying temporary access equipment, this long-term sponsorship guarantees a centralized venue to inspect system scaffolding hardware before committing capital expenditure. System scaffolding components require significant investment compared to traditional tube and fitting setups. Having a sustained, major trade show allows buyers to compare system designs, check integration capabilities with existing stock, and negotiate package deals directly with manufacturers and distributors. It does not alter daily trade pricing at general builders' merchants, but it offers contractors a direct window to evaluate productivity gains against capital costs.
The three-year deal reflects ongoing manufacturer investment in UK trade events. For site managers and access contractors, attending established industry shows remains a practical way to review updated safety regulations, examine modern modular staging systems, and explore training pathways for site crews.
