Celebrating our 5th birthday!

05 May 2015

The Story

A lot happened in 2010. The general election resulted in a hung Parliament, Spain won the World Cup in South Africa and how can anyone forget the defining sound of the tournament… the Vuvuzela. 

2010 also marks 48.3 Scaffold Design’s inception. 

Ben Beaumont, Managing Director of 48.3 Scaffold Design said "5 years ago I formed 48.3 as I wanted to change our industry. I wanted something better, something professional, something whereby the design that is delivered properly considers the tough challenges faced by scaffolders every single day."

With that vision, the design team has grown to 7 people, as well as a Office Manager and Marketing Manager. 

Our company started during a recession and we have managed to grow our team and deliver more work every month, year on year. It has been a challenging yet amazing 5 years and we couldn’t have done this without the continuous support from our clients who equally believe this. We want to continue to deliver great work for them and contribute to their on-going success. 

We are now heavily involved in the Temporary Works forum, working on the application of BIM in temporary works, in addition we have also recently volunteered to join Network Rails ‘Safe by Design’ group and are actively involved in other projects to drive our industry forward. As well as the creation of our Graduate Training Programme, one of our best assets is our ability to offer exceptional specialised structured training, invaluable for both our team members and the company. 48.3 Training has provided opportunities for three of the UK’s leading scaffolding contractors to bring their design and technical services in-house. 

48.3 is all about distinction. Distinction through service quality; differentiating through continuous improvement. Today we know we are better than we were yesterday, and tomorrow, we will be better than we are today. 

We built our team around the motto from my basketball coach that originates in a one line extract from Rudyard Kipling's poem 'The Law for the Wolves': “The strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack”. We believe the best teams work like this. We are all working toward the common goal and we have each other's back. We win together, we loose together. Everyone at 48.3 knows that whatever happens, we will stick together. All for one; one for all.

48.3 simply would not be where it is now without the hard work and commitment of each and every 48.3 team member every single day. Ben Beaumont added "Every team member buys into what we are trying to achieve, and that translates in a level of motivation and commitment I have never seen before. I am continually blown away by how our team go above and beyond what is required to help us achieve our goals and deliver a great service."

We also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped and contributed to 5 great years. 

We’re here for each other as a team and we’re here for you so let’s make 2015 a great year! 

Here’s to 5 years and beyond!
