Taylor’s Hoists boss Paul Price has taken on an extra role as Lyndon SGB’s Mechanical Access Director.

Lyndon SGB has today announced that Paul Price, Taylor’s Hoists Managing Director is now the all-new Mechanical Access Director at Lyndon SGB. He is taking control of the nationwide MASTCLIMBERS™ operations, alongside his on-going leading role at Taylor’s Hoists.

Paul has been with Taylor’s Hoists for almost its entire 15-year history and has been MD there since before the BrandSafway takeover of Lyndon SGB in early 2019.

He is now heading up the Lyndon SGB Mechanical Access Division – which brings a new focus to the nationwide provision of both the hoist and MASTCLIMBERS™ divisions, under one roof, with various regional bases serving UK-wide construction client needs.

Lyndon SGB says the mechanical access division of the business will integrate with the core scaffolding, QuikDeck® suspended access and safety services available including its new Rapid EPS edge protection system that offers its clients nationwide ‘hybrid access’ solutions.

Speaking about the new role, Paul said: “It was a pleasure to accept the role as Mechanical Access Director leading Lyndon SGB MASTCLIMBERS™ as well as Taylor’s Hoists, as one.

After taking on the job, I met with the mechanical access teams in Glasgow and Manchester and witnessed first-hand the skill, dedication and effort each branch can offer their customers.

We have decades of experience in both hoist and MASTCLIMBERS™, superb customer service and the very best machines – giving our clients the best possible mechanical access solutions nationally.  

“Our mechanical access teams always strive to treat each customer like they are number one – no matter if they only have small single MASTCLIMBERS™ or 10 large twin MASTCLIMBERS™ and multiple hoists on their project.

And this level of service quality goes back to the drawing board and in-house design teams, not just the on-site delivery and completion from our many skilled operatives.

“Having been part of Taylor’s Hoists growth in UK construction for 15+ years and the BrandSafway era, my expectations are very high, but I already know that the Lyndon SGB MASTCLIMBERS™ team is able to meet and deliver these high standards from what I have witnessed over the last month. We are all very excited about the future and the exciting projects we are currently and will be working on, in the whole of the UK.

“My vision is that we continue to perfect the great service we already offer, continue to invest in the newest, greenest fleets and ancillaries – assisting our clients with their mechanical access needs, however complex. I look forward to growing and aligning the mechanical access business with the great, large-scale team we already have to support our goal – to be the best access provider in the country.”

Lyndon SGB says, In the first month since Paul took on the new role, there have already been some significant changes – netting great rewards for Lyndon SGB, MASTCLIMBERS™ and Taylor’s Hoists customers countrywide.
