COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT: GEORGE ROBERTS (NORTH WEST) LIMITED SHORTLISTED FOR PRESTIGIOUS AWARD

We are pleased to announce that George Roberts (North West) Ltd have been shortlisted for a Construction News Specialists award in the Equipment Specialist of the Year category.

The 20th annual Construction News Specialist awards recognise excellence amongst the very best in the industry. For the Equipment Specialist of the Year award, George Roberts have been shortlisted for the way we’ve achieved our vision of becoming the UK’s largest independent Scaffolding Hire & Sales outlet.

Key to our growth is our ability to service largescale projects rapidly, whilst also ensuring our product is of the highest quality and safety. We’ve done this by championing a unique, well-documented quality assurance inspection regime.

Central to our successful operations is our purpose-built 16-acre ‘Super Depot’ in Liverpool, the largest single site in the UK with high product stockholding, enabling unique 48-hour nationwide delivery, whilst supporting a thriving export arm by supplying products to over 50 countries.

Of course, without our people we can’t continue with our ambitions. And so, the decision to safeguard the employment and future of employees by putting the ownership of the company into an Employee Ownership Trust demonstrates meaningful actions and not just words, with the result being employees actively benefit from the continued growth and success of the business.

Chairman, Mr. George Roberts, states “As trusted partners, we work closely with contractors to deliver complex projects, enabling them to support the growth and success of independent businesses, as well as their own. Our loyal team find real purpose in helping make this happen, which is why we put the ownership of the company into an Employee Ownership Trust for them. Getting shortlisted for awards such as this further reminds us that the business is in the best possible position for sustained growth and success for the years to come.”
