The business provides scaffolding for sale and hire and other construction supplies through its network of branches across both the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
According to its latest financial statements, the company generated £134.4m in turnover for the year ending 31 August 2022, a significant increase over £97.4m the previous year.
In the same period, pre-tax profits increased from £13.3m to £19.4m.

The Generation (UK) brand has grown dramatically over the past few years following numerous industry mergers and buyouts, most recently with the acquisition of Actavo Hire & Sales in August 2021 for an estimated £40 million.
