We are back from what was an exceptional event at Manchester Central for the scaffolding industry’s flagship event ScaffEx25 on 11–12 September 2025.

Hosted by the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC), ScaffEx25 brought together contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, and industry specialists from across the UK and beyond to explore the latest developments in scaffolding, access solutions, and working-at-height safety. The event is widely regarded as a key industry platform for innovation, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.

The two-day event featured live demonstrations, conference sessions, and specialist training showcases, all centred around the theme of “The Future of Scaffolding.”  The event closing party and Scaffolding Excellence Awards were the icing on the cake. SHS were proud sponsors of the Project of the Year award and were delighted to hand the well received award to Proplant Scaffolding with a highly commended going to Malvern Scaffolding.

Southern Hoist Services’ participation at ScaffEx25 reflects the company’s dedication to continuous improvement and active involvement in the scaffolding and access community. By engaging with industry leaders and embracing emerging trends, SHS continues to strengthen its position as a trusted provider of hoist and lifting solutions across the UK construction sector.

We can’t wait for Scaffex26 on 10-11 September. For more information head over to SCAFFEX26. We will see you there
