Scaffplan recruits former Footprint MD to lead global sales

Scaffplan has appointed former Footprint WFM Managing Director Ciaran Boyd as its Sales Director, strengthening its leadership team as the company prepares for global expansion.

The move comes as demand increases for ScaffPlan’s scaffold design tools and as major partnerships progress, including its worldwide reseller agreement with Trimble.

Boyd joins the business with a strong background in construction software. He previously served as Managing Director of Footprint WFM, where he oversaw commercial growth across the UK, Europe and wider international markets.

Ben Beaumont, Director at ScaffPlan, said Boyd’s appointment marks an important step in the company’s plans to scale.

He said the company is entering “a new chapter” and added that expanding into multiple regions requires greater structure across its commercial teams. “Ciaran brings the energy, experience and commercial strength we need for the next phase of our growth,” Beaumont said.

In his role, Boyd will oversee ScaffPlan’s global sales strategy across its expanding product range. This includes ScaffPlan’s core design platform, its Tekla integration, the new SketchUp workflow and the upcoming BOSS system, which is set to broaden the company’s digital offering.

Boyd said he is joining the company at a time of strong momentum. “The product offering is best-in-class and the pace here is remarkable. I’m ready to help take the growth to the next level,” he said.

ScaffPlan’s decision to appoint a dedicated Sales Director reflects its intention to scale internationally while continuing to invest in new tools for scaffolders, designers and temporary works professionals.
