Layher UK, the esteemed provider of system scaffolding solutions, launched its first Open Morning of 2024 at Simian Risk’s training centre in Leytonstone on Tuesday, 21st May.

The event provided a hands-on experience for attendees to observe Layher’s innovative product demonstrations, engage with the team, and partake in informal discussions about enhancing business operations with Layher’s solutions.

A key highlight of the morning was the joint presentations by Sean Pike, Layher UK MD and Des Moore, Layher’s Brand Ambassador. Both are well known in the industry – Des for his remarkable success in driving substantial revenue streams for TRAD Scaffolding through Layher’s Allround® Scaffolding. Both gentlemen shared their extensive knowledge and experience.

Des gave unique insight from the system scaffold users’ perspective. His presentation aimed to shift the industry’s perspective from questioning the need for system scaffolding to recognising the optimal timing for investing in Layher’s advanced systems.

Reflecting on a recent LinkedIn poll about system scaffolding, Des noted, “Although 64% of respondents highlighted the time and cost-saving advantages of system scaffolding, 19% still perceive it as too expensive. With my experience, I beg to differ.” Des emphasised the long-term benefits and cost-efficiency of system scaffolding, noting its superior longevity and durability compared to traditional scaffolding methods.

The event, which ran from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., had intimate regional attendance, which ensured meaningful interactions and product exploration. Attendees were treated to speeches by Sean Pike, Managing Director at Layher UK, and Des Moore. Sean elaborated on Layher’s core values of strategic partnership via their unique four ‘S’ promise of Service, Support, Solutions and Supply and the significant benefits of their original Allround® Modular Scaffolding System for projects of any size.

 

The event showcased new products, including Twix and Flex beam, as well as the more established universal products, loading bays, and site stairs. It also highlighted solutions, such as splays in Allround®. The Layher Keder XL Roof was also on display.

 

Sean Pike highlighted the importance of these events, stating, “We’re committed to providing attendees with a comprehensive understanding of our products and fostering quality conversations. That’s why we’re hosting multiple events throughout the year”.

Des Moore also addressed the financial benefits of Layher’s system scaffolding from a contractor’s standpoint. He illustrated how the initial investment is outweighed by the long-term savings in labour and the potential to enter new markets, leading to significant turnover and margin benefits.

Additionally, Layher showcased its cutting-edge technologies, including LayherSIM [Scaffold Information Modelling] and LayPLAN VR, which garnered considerable interest. The event also demonstrated the use of Flex Beam for quick and strong street gantry scaffolds and its latest innovation, the Twix Beam, for suspended scaffolds.

Layher’s Open Morning Series to Continue Across the UK

The Leytonstone event marks the beginning of Layher’s series of Open Mornings planned across the UK, with the next events scheduled at Eggborough Depot on 3rd September, Livingston Depot on 24th September, and West Brom on 8th October.

These events provide a unique opportunity for industry professionals to explore Layher’s innovative scaffolding solutions and their practical and financial benefits, paving the way for enhanced efficiency and profitability within the construction sector.
