Inner City Scaffolding, a London-based scaffolding contractor working across commercial and urban construction projects, has appointed Ben Ramsey as its new managing director.

The appointment marks a leadership change as the company enters 2026 and follows a period of development under Sean Phillips, who will remain a director and co-owner of the business.

Inner City Scaffolding delivers access and temporary works solutions across London and the surrounding regions, supporting commercial developments, refurbishment projects and complex inner-city sites. The business is known for operating in constrained urban environments where logistics, safety and coordination are critical.

Ramsey steps into the role during a wider transition for the company, which includes a planned change of operational premises and a continued focus on strengthening internal capability.

Commenting on the appointment, Ramsey said the change represented a new phase for the business, with an emphasis on developing people, maintaining high safety standards and building long-term client relationships.

He added that the workforce remained central to the company’s performance, with project quality and consistency driven by skilled teams on site.

Inner City Scaffolding said the leadership handover was designed to provide continuity while positioning the business for its next stage of growth, with Phillips continuing to contribute his experience to the company’s long-term strategy.
