As part of a commitment to training and personnel development, SAS NW have four apprentices who have started their journeys in a career in scaffolding. Lewis and Michael are on their Scaffolding Foundation Course, with another two team members, John and Anthony, on their Part 1B course.

David Welsh, Director at SAS (NW) Ltd commented “Staff training and development is key to our operation and we continue to invest and provide opportunities in this area. Working in a safety critical industry, means ensuring that best practice is maintained is paramount.

“Our newer team members have to undergo training as a matter of course, but we also encourage our more experienced staff to partake in activities to maintain their continuous development.”

Liverpool based scaffolding and safety decking contractor, SAS (NW) Ltd, are proud to announce the opening of their new premises in Lees Road, Knowsley Industrial Park, Liverpool, L33 7SE.

SAS NW employs 40 members of staff, both directly and subcontracted across multiple projects throughout the North West, most recently in Liverpool, Congleton, Bolton and the Wirral. The company specialises in the sale and hire of scaffolding systems and the new premises have been chosen to assist in their growth plans.

Kevin Welsh, Director at SAS (NW) Ltd said “The new premises are key to our plans for future growth. Our old premises served us well, but more projects mean more staff, increased traffic and a greater need for storage. We quickly found that we were running out of room.

“It was important for us to stay local, so that the disruption to our teams, customers and supply chain was kept to a minimum. Our new location ticks all of the boxes for us and we have been fortunate to have been able to make the move with out affecting our day to day operations.

“With everything that has been going on this year, especially the lockdown, we feel that it has been important to keep moving forward with our growth plans and maintain our standards of service. So far, so good and we are looking forward to settling in and keeping up the momentum in 2021.

SAS NW’s new website was launched after being developed over lockdown.

The 50 page-plus website was unveiled as part of a programme of business improvements that have been put in place to accommodate the increasing demand for SAS’s services and products.

In recent years, SAS has grown due to a number of major contract wins and working on significant house building projects for major contractors such as Kier, Persimmon, Jones Homes and Redrow.

The website was built throughout lockdown and highlights each of the company’s products and services, with a page for each geographic location that SAS operates in.

A fresh web presence allows SAS to showcase their recent projects, including projects throughout the North West and products such as the G-Deck safety decking system, one of the most versatile decking systems on the market.

Kevin Welsh, Director at SAS (NW) Ltd said “We took the opportunity to build the new site over lockdown as it is a key marketing tool that we expect to grow with the business.

“A lot of our work is repeat business on the back of delivering a professional job and building solid working relationships on site. As standards on site have increase over the year, so has the criteria to win business.

“The new website showcases the level of business that we are doing and highlights our expertise and ability to deliver the job.”

Alex Murphy, Director at SAS (NW) Ltd said “As our business has grown, so has the need to up our game from a signage, branding and marketing perspective.

“We’ve worked hard to position ourselves as a reputable, professional scaffolding and safety decking company. With our new site, we feel that we have the perfect platform to showcase our business going forward, which we feel is essential in securing new and repeat business in the future.”
