Enigma Expands in Aberdeen with Major Investment in New Premises

National scaffolding and industrial services provider Enigma Industrial Services Ltd has announced a significant expansion in the North-east of Scotland, securing a 15-year lease on a newly refurbished warehouse facility in Aberdeen.

The move aims to enhance the company’s contract scaffolding service capacity across Aberdeen and the wider Grampian region, where demand from housing, construction, and oil and gas projects continues to increase.

Located within the strategic Altens Industrial Estate and forming part of the Aberdeen Energy Transition Zone (ETZ), the new site includes upgraded workshop areas, office accommodation, and a 10,556 sq ft secure yard.

The ETZ is the UK’s largest dedicated energy transition complex, designed to help position the region as a key player in the drive towards net zero.

Supporting Growth in Housing and Energy Sectors

Blaidd Jones, Regional Director at Enigma, said the investment reflects the company’s sustained growth and long-term commitment to the region.

“With our continued growth over the last few years, we have recognised our need for bigger and better premises,” he said.

“We are now ideally placed for the continued delivery of market-leading contract scaffolding services to our customers in the new build housing, construction and oil & gas sectors throughout the Grampian area.”

He confirmed Enigma had recently secured several new contracts in the residential sector, including work with Barratt Homes North Scotland on its Cordyce housing development, and with Cala Homes at their Conglass (Inverurie) and Silverburn (Aberdeen) sites.

Investing in Local Skills and Apprenticeships

To support the company’s expansion and pipeline of work, Enigma continues to invest in its workforce.

The business currently employs 19 apprentices in the region at various stages of their training. A further four apprentices have just begun training through the firm’s in-house facility in Derby, where they receive practical instruction before returning to the Aberdeen depot for additional yard-based training.

Once fully prepared, they will join existing scaffolding teams on-site, receiving ongoing mentorship and hands-on experience.

Mr Jones added: “Enigma operates one of the UK’s largest scaffolding asset bases, and we provide an accredited, safety-first, cost-effective professional service.

Our investment in training ensures we can deliver these standards well into the future.”

The expansion marks a further step in Enigma’s broader national strategy to enhance local delivery and capacity in key regions across the UK.
