Layher UK has signed a new three-year agreement to remain principal sponsor of ScaffEx, extending its backing of the industry exhibition beyond ScaffEx26.

NASC confirmed the renewal this week, saying the system scaffolding manufacturer will continue as principal sponsor for the next three years.

The agreement follows Layher’s original three-year sponsorship of ScaffEx, which began with the first event in Belfast in 2024 and continued through the 2025 and 2026 editions in Manchester.

Sean Pike, Managing Director of Layher UK, said: “I honestly couldn’t be prouder that we’ve retained our sponsorship of ScaffEx for another three years, taking our partnership through to 2030.

“For me, this is about so much more than a sponsorship. It’s a reflection of the people behind it. I’m incredibly proud of the wider Layher team, whose passion, commitment and teamwork make everything we do possible.

“Our customers, our partners and the wider industry are at the heart of what we do, and ScaffEx gives us the opportunity to bring those relationships together, celebrate our industry and look towards its future.

“To have the trust and support to continue this partnership through to 2030 is a huge privilege, and one that I know means just as much to the whole Layher team.

“There would be no stand, no presence and no partnership without the dedication of the people behind it, and that’s what makes me most proud.”

Clive Dickin, Group CEO of NASC and CISRS, also confirmed the extension.

He said: “I’m also delighted to announce that Layher will be principal sponsor of ScaffEx for the next three years. This kind of long-term backing is what allows us to keep building the event and we’re grateful for their support.”

ScaffEx26 took place at Manchester Central on 10 and 11 September, with Layher again serving as principal sponsor.
