AK Scaffolding, led by Aaron King, is a labour‑only scaffolding specialist focused on supplying reliable, skilled scaffold crews for projects across the North of England. Built “by scaffolders for scaffolders”, the company provides day‑rate scaffolders, full teams and supervisory support to main contractors and scaffolding firms who need extra hands on busy frameworks, shutdowns and large developments. With a strong base in the northern regions, AK Scaffolding is known for turning up ready to work, integrating quickly with existing site teams and maintaining a high standard of safety and productivity.
The business also has a growing profile on the international stage, with Aaron and his team involved in events such as ScaffChamp and the Scaffold Builders’ Competition at World of Concrete in Las Vegas, showcasing UK scaffolding talent alongside the best in the world. This competitive experience feeds back into their day‑to‑day work, reinforcing a culture of precision, teamwork and pride in the craft. Dr Scaffold partners with AK Scaffolding as the British team in the World of competitive scaffolding, combining high‑quality manpower with training and consultancy support to help deliver safe, efficient scaffolding operations in a highly pressurised competition. This is then transferred into day to day operations. We will be world champions.
Shrink Wrap UK is a specialist shrink‑wrapping contractor based on the Isle of Wight that provides industrial, scaffolding and transportation shrink‑wrap services with coverage across the UK and support for projects in Europe. The company focuses on protecting assets and worksites from weather, damage and contamination by encapsulating structures in heavy‑duty shrink‑wrap sheeting that is heat‑shrunk tight around the frame. This creates a robust, drum‑tight barrier that is particularly suited to scaffolding, temporary works and large plant where project teams need reliable environmental control.
In the **scaffolding** sector, Shrink Wrap UK delivers full scaffold encapsulation and temporary weather protection, helping contractors maintain programme in poor weather while improving site safety and aesthetics. Their scaffold shrink‑wrap systems are designed to combine containment with durability, using flame‑retardant materials and welded joints to withstand high winds better than traditional sheeting and reduce the risk of blow‑offs and water ingress. For **transportation**, the firm wraps vehicles, machinery and high‑value loads to protect against salt, rain and impact damage during transit or long‑term storage, allowing clients to move or store assets with confidence.
Shrink Wrap UK also works on **industrial** projects, encapsulating equipment, tanks and large structures to guard against corrosion, dust and debris, and to support activities such as grit blasting and coating where environmental containment is critical. The business promotes itself as a trusted, flexible partner able to tailor solutions to different sectors and site conditions, backed by positive client feedback praising professionalism, efficiency and attention to detail on complex jobs.
Brownes Gerüst is a specialist scaffolding company delivering safe, reliable access solutions for complex projects in Germany and across Europe. Building on the experience of Browne’s Scaffolding in the UK, the team combines British and European best practice to plan, design and deliver scaffolds for industrial, commercial and specialist environments. Their operatives are highly trained, with a strong focus on compliance, methodical planning and clean execution on live sites.
The company is comfortable working in demanding settings such as plants, infrastructure, marine and confined-space environments, where careful coordination and robust safety culture are essential. From straightforward façade access to fully bespoke, engineered scaffolds with encapsulation and complex interfaces, Brownes Gerüst prioritises stability, safe access and minimal disruption to the client’s operations. The Dr Scaffold team recommends Brownes Gerüst for projects that need a partner who understands both scaffolding and construction safety at a high level, and who can deliver consistent quality across borders.
Dr Scaffold and ScaffLab are developing an Irish joint venture that brings together specialist scaffolding safety training, consultancy and high‑quality labour support under one roof for the European market.

With an Irish base and a European outlook, the joint venture is designed to make it easier for clients to get consistent, high‑quality scaffolding support and safety expertise on projects across the EU
