System scaffolding manufactures PERI has appointed Charles Stratford as its Business Development Manager for PERI UP.

The company says the appointment will enable it to develop its scaffolding proposition, so that it is more aligned to meet the growing demand for skilled workers, efficient solutions and digitalisation, now and in the future.

Charles joins PERI with over 20 years’ experience in the industry. The balance between his practical knowledge as a scaffolder early on in his career, coupled with his strategic acumen in recent senior roles made him the right candidate to navigate this new journey for PERI.

Charles will focus on how key challenges such as productivity and safety on site can be overcome by leveraging the benefits of system scaffolding.

Supported by a network of specialists across PERI and a new multimillion-euro production and galvanising plant in Germany, Charles is looking forward to growing PERI UK’s scaffolding division.

Commenting on his appointment, Charles Stratford said, “The features of system scaffold are inherently aligned to the productivity and safety measures that are expected on-site today. Something I am excited about is working with our designers on larger, more bespoke scaffolding solutions for our customers.

We have the right people, the right solutions and the right product for any scaffolding-related service our customers require, giving us the confidence to fulfil any requirement here at PERI.”
