At a meeting of the company’s distributors on Thursday to re-launch the business after the sale of the powered access business to Tanfield earlier this year, he told delegates:

“While I am new to the business my philosophy simple, the customer is king, everything we will do will be based on that ethos – listening to what you and your customers want. I hope also that I am also sure that I will enjoy this business as I hope you do, after all if you don’t enjoy the business you should not be in the business”.

The company also took the opportunity to introduce a new financial controller, Liam Geraghty and a new district manager for Scandinavia, Leif Westergaard who joins UpRight from façade scaffold producer SGD Beira.

With over 30 of the company’s distributors attending the two day event, UpRight took the opportunity to present its plans and strategies for 2007 now that it is able to focus purely on non powered access. The company has trebled scaffold tower production in unit terms over the past six years.
