TRAD UK has warned customers that external market pressures linked to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East could lead to price adjustments in the coming weeks.

In a notice shared with customers, the scaffold equipment supplier said uncertainty in global markets is affecting energy, transportation and raw material pricing.

The company said it remains committed to protecting clients from unnecessary increases but acknowledged that wider economic pressures may make some changes unavoidable.

TRAD UK said stock levels across its network currently remain at normal levels. However, it encouraged customers to consider replenishing key items ahead of time to help avoid potential supply disruptions or cost impacts.

The company said the advice is intended to help contractors manage uncertainty as global conditions continue to shift.

Scaffold equipment distribution relies heavily on transport and energy costs, both of which have seen volatility in recent weeks amid escalating geopolitical tensions.

TRAD UK said customers seeking further information should contact their local depot.
