IPAF remains committed to helping our industry recover: we’ve supported our members throughout, producing guidance on managing risk and promoting remote training where possible – take-up of IPAF eLearning increased five-fold during the pandemic. Despite the disruption, IPAF still managed to progress key initiatives: we published the first ever IPAF Global MEWP Safety Report, revamped our accident reporting portal and also updated our Load/Unload training. Perhaps the most exciting development is ePAL – our MEWP and MCWP operator mobile app. Launching in 2021, it promises to revolutionise the way IPAF-trained operators store their digital PAL Card, log equipment time and access safety information.

  • From the Beginning
    From The Beginning In the late 1980's, the Company was founded by James Brogan in London. The aim was to become a strategic supplier in contract scaffolding to the major UK contractors. The first major clients were Balfour Beatty and Sir Robert McAlpine. Early contracts included The Victoria Coach Station and the Farringdon Street development. A good reputation was established from the outset for service and performance, earning the respect and ongoing business relationships with key management figures in those companies and subsequently in others also. As a start-up private Company without funding, profits from the business were re- invested in equipment (which continues to the present day) as a scaffolding business, unlike many other specialist companies, needs to acquire vast quantities of scaffold materials in order to compete with the major nationwide companies in larger projects. The second and most important requirement is people. The Company enticed and gradually acquired key personnel who were (and are) well respected in their own right in the industry and continue to play a pivotal role in Brogan Scaffolding's ongoing success story. The Company continued to grow in the mid to late 90's doubling its turnover year on year on a number of years, steadily gaining an excellent reputation within its core client base, which provided repeat business. Its client base expanded slowly to include many well known top 20 companies including Higgs & Hill (now BAM Construct UK), John Sisk & Son, John Laing (now Laing O'Rourke) and others. Projects included Virgin megastore in Oxford Street, London and Tesco in Hammersmith, London for Higgs & Hill.
