GSL operated a fleet of 40 vehicles with a huge stock of wholly owned scaffolding equipment that concentrated it’s business in social housing, private new-builds, commercial and industrial sectors.

A shareholder disagreement at the company is understood to have meant the business could not pays its debts which lead to the collapse.
