Connolly Scaffolding unveils major new Salford base as part of multi-million-pound expansion

Connolly Scaffolding has completed a major expansion with the opening of a new 26,000 sq ft warehouse and yard in Salford – a move director Wayne Connolly describes as a “game changer” for the company.

The modern facility, on Astor Road, includes 4,000 sq ft of office space and sits on a 1.6-acre site less than a mile from the firm’s existing headquarters. The move provides additional capacity for storage, logistics, and training as the business increases its investment in system scaffolding and expands its service offering across the UK.

“It’s mega – the premises are a real game changer for us,” said Connolly. “The new site supports our move further into system scaffolding and gives us the space to grow, with much larger offices and a professional environment that reflects the image we want to project to clients.”

The company recently signed off on a £3.35 million order with TRAD for additional system scaffolding, following a previous £4 million deal several years earlier.

Connolly said the new base positions the business at the heart of Salford, within sight of MediaCity, and strengthens its ability to serve projects nationwide.

“We’re in a great location to cover the North West, London, Bristol, Nottingham, and even Cornwall. The new premises give our team room to grow and the facilities to deliver a more efficient, professional service.”

Connolly Scaffolding also operates an in-house training centre, with plans to host the Mayor of Salford later this month for an official visit. A professional photoshoot and drone footage release are planned for late November to showcase the site.
