Research for an overview of the number of Scaffold Companies & Scaffolders in the UK
Research for an overview of the number of Scaffold Companies & Scaffolders in the UK
I am trying to estimate the number of companies that erect scaffolding in the UK.
I am also attempting to find the number of scaffolders employed and on what basis, directly employed, self employed, agency employed.
As a start I have searched Yell.com (yellow pages) a paid for advertising medium.
I searched “scaffold erectors; England, Wales, Scotland, NI” respectively The results were
England 3,296, Scotland 190, Wales 189, Northern Ireland 40 a grand total of 3,715 companies
Although not all scaffolding companies advertise on “Yellow Pages” I estimate 80% do. I therefore have added 20% to the total number of hits of 3,715.
Producing a number of 4,458 scaffolding erectors (Companies) in the UK
In trying to establish the number of scaffolders in the UK the only figure I have so far is one posted by stleger in another thread stating that under the CISRS there are 5,500 trainees 15,000 basic scaffolders and 8,000 Advanced scaffolders
Producing a total of 23,000 qualified scaffolders with 5,500 under training
Your views and comments will be greatly appreciated on my figures and methodology of reaching them. This is my starting point only. If you have any suggestions as to where I may collate more input to these figures please let me know.Thanks for your help in my research
Best Regards
