The º£½ÇÊÓƵ’s leading producer and supplier of scaffolding access equipment is continuing its investment and expansion with the acquisition of an additional site close to its new Scunthorpe headquarters.

Caspian Group Ltd has taken on further land on Grange Lane North, close to the Midland Road base and across from the former Jack Tighe site it brought on board in November, significantly growing the footprint of the business.

Managing director Neil Garrison said: “This is an exciting development for us. The new site will enable us to provide even higher levels of service for our customers and will allow for the future growth of the products and services we provide.”

“This is also a great opportunity for us to reinvest in our local area, we will be regenerating a site that has been unused for quite some time, and with our continued growth and development we anticipate further job creations across our sites.”

Coming months will see building work, with the plan to make it the main location for storing new and finished sales stock, freeing up manufacturing facilities further.

It will include scaffolding tube and fittings, BS2482 scaffold boards and other scaffold access-related products.

“This ongoing expansion further demonstrates our commitment to sustained growth and bolsters our position as a leader within the industry,” Mr Garrison added.

Caspian can be traced back to Grimsby exporter Bob Tyler, who remains a shareholder, with his generalist operations picking up on the demand for scaffolding in the late Seventies as the UAE, Iran and the wider area emerged as a strong market, and also lending itself to the name.
