Scaffolder announces key contract, and proposal to open a second location

Knowsley based scaffolding firm, Teal Scaffold, is planning to expand, with a second base in the pipeline.

It announced its intention to grow its geographical coverage alongside news that its strong year of progress has continued, boosted by a contract with client Sovini Construction on its £19m social housing scheme in the Bootle district of Liverpool.

The project is Bootle-based Sovini’s biggest development, to date, with the creation of more than 145 affordable homes on a nine acre site, as part of its aim to deliver in excess of 1,000 new homes over the next five years.

Teal’s scaffolding will be erected to a full height, to create a safe, compliant structure with multiple configurations, with additional safety precautions enabling multiple tradesmen to work on the new-build apartment block.

Anita Harrison-Carroll, managing director of Teal Scaffold, said: “We are incredibly proud to be supporting our partners Sovini Construction on the group’s largest social housing project to date. This project demonstrates the breadth and depth of Teal’s offering, and our ability to handle ever-larger projects.”

Steve Parrington, managing director of Sovini Construction, said: “As proud partners of The Sovini Group we are delighted to be able to utilise the group’s full supply chain. We have witnessed Teal Scaffold’s expertise and industry knowledge first hand, so it was a no-brainer to bring them aboard for this major project with us.”

Referring to Teal’s plans for a second location, its head of operations, Dan McGregor, said: “It is a pleasure to be involved in Sovini Constructions largest development, to date. We are thrilled to add them to the long list of new projects and clients we have secured since our inception to the industry in 2018.

“This project has created opportunities for our local colleagues to develop their expertise, whilst also tackling the social housing shortage within the ever-growing city of Liverpool.

“Our growth across the North West continues, and is a testament to the quality, expertise, and industry knowledge of our workforce. We look forward to seeing the development take shape over the coming months.”
