Achieve Scaffold and access best practice with CP :   January 6, 2010

Can you guarantee your employees safety during the assembly and dismantle of alluminium scaffold?
We have recently added to our range of scaffolding BetaGuard, an Integral Advance Guardrail that eliminates the risk of fall from height throughout assembly and dismantle of Aluminium Towers. Set to revolutionalise the way towers are assembled, the BetaGuard removes the need for diagonal and horizontal braces which can be easily lost or damaged, replacing them with an easy to use single BetaGuard frame.

Dublin Depots to Close :   December 23, 2009

Due to the downturn in business and unsustainable hire rates in the south of ireland, we will be closing our two depots in Dublin and Greystones. This was not an easy decision by any means. We have been discussing this for some time but there is little sign that conditions are likely to improve anyway soon. We have had ten fantastic years in southern ireland and would like to thank all our customers for their support during this time. This doesn't mean that we are giving up on Dublin for good, as we will still be making deliveries from our Banbridge depot in the north.
