Leaked Drone Footage Shows Giant ScaffEx Screen Over Manchester

Leaked drone footage has revealed a giant video screen promoting ScaffEx25 on the side of the AXIS building in Manchester.

The huge display, which directly overlooks the Manchester Central convention centre, is broadcasting promotional clips in the lead-up to the scaffolding and access trade show taking place on 11–12 September.

The screen went live this week and will remain in place until the close of the Scaffolding Excellence Awards next Friday, part of the wider ScaffEx25 programme.

The footage, believed to have been captured by a ScaffEx insider, shows the illuminated screen dominating the city skyline. It forms part of a campaign to raise awareness of what organisers say will be the UK’s largest gathering dedicated to scaffolding and access.

A ScaffEx spokesperson told ScaffMag: “ScaffEx25 is a major opportunity to showcase the industry. The AXIS building screen is a bold way to mark the countdown, and it’s just one of several activities we have planned as the event approaches.”

ScaffEx25 will feature live demonstrations, product launches, panel discussions, and an awards ceremony recognising excellence across the sector. Thousands of delegates are expected to attend.
