Lyndon SGB Unveils New Identity as Brand Access Solutions

Lyndon SGB is no more! In a historic move, the scaffolding giant has announced it’s changing its trading name to Brand Access Solutions, effective today (4th February 2025).

New livery

The rebranding marks the end of an era for the century-old scaffolding and access solutions provider and the beginning of a new chapter under the global BrandSafway umbrella.

The decision reflects the company’s evolution and commitment to integrating its operations more closely with BrandSafway, a leading global provider of access, specialised services, and forming and shoring solutions.

With over 100 years of operational experience, Lyndon SGB has been a cornerstone of the UK’s construction industry, and this transition to Brand Access Solutions signifies a renewed focus on innovation, customer service, and global collaboration. Lyndon SGB has long been synonymous with high-quality scaffolding, temporary access solutions, and engineering expertise.

Its reputation for delivering safe and efficient solutions has made it a trusted partner in the construction and industrial sectors. The company has said its rebranding does not diminish its legacy but rather builds upon it, leveraging BrandSafway’s strength and resources to enhance its offerings.

What’s Changing?

The change affects all Lyndon SGB branches across the UK, including locations in England, Scotland, and Wales. Brand Access Solutions remains the largest and most recognised provider of temporary construction access in the UK, offering a comprehensive range of services, including:

  • Tube and fitting and modular system scaffolding
  • Motorised access (Mastclimbers™ and hoists)
  • QuikDeck™ Suspended Access solutions
  • Edge protection systems
  • G-Deck metal decking
  • Temporary roofing and shelters

“As the UK’s leading commercial access provider, we are excited to celebrate our new trading name, which better reflects our market position and supports our customer-centric growth plans,” said Centin Baxter, Regional Vice President, Europe, at Brand Access Solutions.

“We plan to honour our rich heritage as an award-winning provider of scaffolding and access solutions by prioritising safety and innovation, delivering exceptional service to our clients, and exceeding our reputation for excellence. The team is ready to partner with clients to get their projects completed on time, on budget, with a high focus on safety, empowering them to accomplish more than ever before.”

The company’s day-to-day operations, service offerings, strong industry relationships, and dedication to safety remain unaffected by the name change.

Brand Access Solutions has worked on a considerable number of significant projects throughout its 100-plus-year history, including:

  • The Historic New Register House, Edinburgh – Winner of the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation’s Project of the Year
  • Co-op Live, Manchester – The UK’s largest entertainment arena
  • The Runcorn Bridge, Manchester
  • Manchester Town Hall

 

Looking Ahead

As Brand Access Solutions, the company will leverage cutting-edge technology, sustainable practices, and global best practices to meet its clients’ evolving needs. The rebranding underscores its commitment to safety and innovation, core values that have defined both Lyndon SGB and BrandSafway.

The change comes at a time when the construction and industrial sectors are experiencing rapid transformation, driven by technological advancements and increasing demand for sustainable solutions. By aligning more closely with BrandSafway, Brand Access Solutions is well-positioned to lead the way in delivering innovative access solutions for the challenges of tomorrow.

As of today (4th February 2025), Lyndon SGB will officially operate as Brand Access Solutions, marking the beginning of a new era for the company and its stakeholders.
