TRAD Quote

TRAD UK builds on our historical commitment to providing the best products and service, whether supplying a straightforward order of scaffold tube and fittings, to more complex construction safety solutions, our strength is in going that little bit further; developing products and solutions that really work for people, using our own years of construction and scaffolding expertise to make sites safer, more efficient places to work.

TRAD UK continues our culture of investing and promoting from within. We are a family with many long-term employees, we train, mentor and offer opportunities to our people to help them build and further their careers within the organisation. This drives real loyalty that improves our customer service and helps us to build lasting relationships both internally and externally.

TRAD UK benefits from being part of the ALTRAD Group, which allows us to continually develop both our products and services that will maintain our position as one of the leading scaffolding product and construction safety system providers in the UK.”
