Mast climbing future secured

SGB has acquired full ownership of its Mastclimbers joint venture partnership. The company acquired a majority shareholding in Mastclimbers in 2001, growing it from a regional base in Scotland into a national supplier serving the broader UK market. Today, Mastclimbers operates the UK’s largest fleet of rental platforms, with services that extend from project feasibility and design to site erection and dismantling.

Steve Shine, managing director of SGB UK commented: “We see the use of mastclimbing platforms continuing to increase, particularly in high rise residential and commercial construction where there is growing pressure on build and maintenance cycle times without compromise to the safe movement of men and materials.”



Mastclimbers’ founder Andrew Reid, a recognised expert in mast climbing technology, will continue to be involved in the development of the business in a consultancy capacity. Cameron Reid, previously Mastclimbers’ operations director, has been appointed managing director in succession to his father, ensuring continuity and positioning the company for further growth.
