ScaffPlan has formed a strategic partnership with Leach’s, the UK’s largest supplier of scaffolding consumables and equipment, in a move designed to widen access to digital scaffold design tools across the industry.

The agreement brings together two established companies with a shared focus on improving safety, quality and standards within temporary works.

ScaffPlan’s platform provides intelligent 3D scaffold design software with built-in engineering tools, allowing contractors to plan, visualise and check scaffold structures before work begins on site.

Through the new partnership, Leach’s customers will have easier access to the software, linking digital planning with the supply of scaffolding materials and equipment.

Ben Beaumont, Director of ScaffPlan, said the collaboration builds on the strong reputation both companies hold within the sector.

“Leach’s are trusted by scaffolding contractors across the UK because they stand for quality and reliability – values we care deeply about at ScaffPlan,” he said.

“This partnership makes it easier for Leach’s customers to access powerful scaffold design and engineering software through a team they already know and trust. It’s a win for both businesses – and more importantly, a win for the industry.”

The companies say the partnership is intended to remove barriers that can prevent contractors from adopting digital design tools. By connecting software directly with a familiar supply partner, the aim is to give firms a practical way to trial and integrate digital planning into everyday operations.

Russell Tennent, General Manager of Leach’s, said the decision to partner with ScaffPlan reflects a shared approach to innovation and industry development.

“ScaffPlan is the right partner for us because of their commitment to innovation, quality and delivering tangible benefits to the scaffolding industry,” he said.

“Together, we share the same high standards for safety, reliability and customer service, providing solutions that make designing, quoting and managing scaffolding projects more efficient and precise.”

Beyond the commercial agreement, both companies say they plan to collaborate on wider industry initiatives. These include podcast content and sector engagement projects aimed at supporting knowledge sharing within the scaffolding community.

ScaffPlan and Leach’s are also both main sponsors of ScaffChamp 2026, where they will jointly support the event and celebrate excellence within the trade.
