Benchmark Scaffolding is celebrating 30 years in business, marking three decades of delivering some of the most complex and high-profile scaffolding projects across the UK.

Founded in 1995, the company has built a reputation for reliability, innovation, and a no-compromise approach to safety. Over the years, Benchmark has been involved in some of the country’s most recognisable projects, including long-term works at the Palace of Westminster, the award-winning temporary roof structure at Stowe School, and the transformation of Battersea Power Station.

The company has also played a role in major projects at Selfridges on Oxford Street, the Old Stock Exchange, and the Empress State Building.

Managing Director Rob West said the success of Benchmark has always come down to the people behind it.

“From the guys on-site to the engineers, managers, and office staff, everyone plays a part in making Benchmark what it is today. Their skill, dedication, and willingness to go the extra mile are what set us apart,” he said.

The industry has changed dramatically over the last 30 years, and Benchmark has adapted with it—embracing new technologies, improving safety systems, and staying ahead of the curve in a competitive market.

However, according to Mr. West, some things have never changed.

“Our focus has always been on doing the job properly—delivering quality work, keeping people safe, and building strong relationships with our clients. We’ve faced challenges like everyone else, but we’ve always come out stronger.”

Looking ahead, Benchmark has no plans to slow down. “Thirty years is a huge milestone, but we’re not stopping here,” he added. “We’re excited for what’s next and ready to keep raising the bar.”
