ScaffMag is hearing reports that UTN training in Wakefield has been acquired by AFI Uplift and Scaffold training at the site will stop.

UTN based in Wakefield  has been in operation for the past 16 years delivering a wide range of Scaffolding and safety related courses. Posted on the AFI uplift website a press release has appeared confirming that AFI has acquired the trade and the assets of UTN Training.

The press release continues to report that the business will continue to operate from the same premises and will retain the UTN Training name. Although the press release mentions courses that will continue at the site there is no mention of the continuation of  any Scaffold Training.

This is the second training business in a matter of months that AFI has acquired.
