Hull based Burflex Scaffolding Ltd beats the recession and continues to expand after investing £750,000 purchasing 47 new vans.

The firm was established 12 years ago by Steve Cox and his wife Tracy and two staff, the husband and wife team now employs 147 people.
Speaking to the Hull Daily Mail, Managing Director, Steve Cox said:
“We’ve steadily grown through the recession.
“The company has been developing the right management structure to make it possible for us to grow.
“It was tough through the recession but we’re a proactive bunch.”
Mr Cox said his firm survived through a focus on keeping existing customers and careful management.
He said: “I think the main reason we’ve been successful in the recession is repeat custom.
“There are a lot of people we’ve worked for prior to the recession who’ve kept us in work.
“We’re now certainly one of the largest family-owned scaffolding firms in Yorkshire, and possibly beyond.”
The business is now rumoured to be setting its sights to expand further by breaking into the Petrochemical and heavy industry.
