Kirtanlal Scaffolding & Formwork has announced an exclusive partnership with leading UK-based safety supplier Leach’s, marking a major move to enhance scaffolding safety standards across the Middle East and India.

The agreement will see Kirtanlal become the exclusive regional distributor of Leach’s full product portfolio, including its flagship BIGBEN® range and globally recognised brands such as 3M and Stabila.

The partnership is set to deliver a new level of access to premium scaffolding PPE, height safety systems, and specialist tools across the GCC and Indian construction sectors.

Bringing together two respected names in global construction supply, the collaboration aims to meet growing demand for trusted, certified safety gear amid rapid infrastructure development and challenging site conditions across the region.

Together for a Safer Tomorrow

The partnership between Kirtanlal and Leach’s brings together two companies driven by a shared commitment to improving safety across the built environment.

In just three years, Kirtanlal has expanded from a single base in Dubai to 15 locations across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and India. The family-run business has quickly established itself as a trusted name in the region, renowned for its uncompromising commitment to safety, quality, and service.

Its supply of Grade 50c galvanised KT-Lok Cup Systems and high-grade aluminium formwork supports some of the Middle East’s most ambitious construction projects.

Leach’s, meanwhile, brings over 100 years of industry expertise. What began as a small store in London has grown into a globally recognised brand, supplying safety equipment, tools, and accessories to more than 80 countries.

With a strong presence in scaffolding, construction, oil and gas, and industrial sectors, Leach’s is widely respected for its reliability, innovation, and deep understanding of site safety.

Now united, both companies are working together to deliver proven safety solutions to the region’s rapidly evolving construction landscape.

Growing Demand for Durable PPE

With the Middle East and India experiencing a major construction boom, the need for robust, high-performance safety gear continues to rise. Challenging conditions and ambitious architectural developments have made durable, reliable PPE more essential than ever.

“This partnership will allow customers to enjoy the benefits of Leach’s exceptional and globally recognised products at market competitive prices with quick delivery times,” said Charles Edwards, CEO of Kirtanlal Scaffolding & Formwork.

Kirtanlal will supply a wide range of Leach’s safety solutions, including:

  • Lightweight safety helmets and harnesses
  • Fall arrest and height safety systems
  • Tool tethering and lifting kits
  • Rescue and recovery equipment
  • Full PPE solutions for scaffolding professionals

A Shared Mission: Safer Together

Branded under the joint message ‘Safer Together’, the partnership reflects a mutual commitment to improving safety outcomes for scaffolding and construction workers across the region.

“Kirtanlal shares the core values at the heart of Leach’s – to improve the safety and efficiency of the scaffolding industry,” said Grant Harris, Sales Director at Leach’s.

“This partnership highlights our joint dedication to ensuring scaffolders across India and the GCC have access to safe, certified, and industry-leading equipment with fast, reliable delivery.”

With Kirtanlal’s strong regional network and Leach’s product leadership, the partnership is expected to have an immediate impact on site safety standards and product availability across the Middle East and Indian construction sectors.
