Scaffolding firm to reach new heights with recruitment drive and HQ move

A fast-growing Redditch scaffolding company which has created 20 jobs this year has expanded into new premises in the town.

Airwright Midland has made the move into the 9,909 sq ft offices and yard at Crossgate Road.

The family-owned company was previously based at a site in Shawbank Road but needed more space after a surge in housebuilding across the Midlands saw its staff rise to 55.

Ben Wright, managing director at Airwright Midlands, which was launched in 2011, said: “We’ve experienced fast growth in the past year and quickly outgrew our previous base.

“We’ve been searching for the right premises for years and the new property at Crossgate Road has a much better layout with the yard securely based at the back, a separate and much bigger office space and a welcoming reception area at the front.”

Chartered surveyors John Truslove arranged the Crossgate Road deal for Airwright Midland for £39,000 a year on a six-year lease on behalf of London-based Grandfield Group.

Ben Truslove, a director at Redditch-based John Truslove, said: “It’s really encouraging to see Airwright Midland doing so well and taking on so many staff.

“We were delighted to work closely with them to find the Crossgate Road site that had space for expansion and was more suitable for a growing company with a proper reception, separate offices and secure yard.”
