Another Firm to go to the Wall

[T.ANIMAL]

Just read this, another sad day in our industry, hope the lads get sorted quickly;
Abingdon-based scaffolder Gilt Edge Contracts has been placed in administration
with the loss of around 45 jobs.

The established scaffolding contractor worked mainly for a handful of big house
builders, including Persimmon, Miller, David Wilson and Barratt.

Gilt Edge was a member of the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation.

Blimey, thats a shock, they were Miller homes main men, i quoted for many Miller & Barratt jobs in last 2 years only to be told Guiltedge got the job, they were a fair sized company, with alot of decent scaffs.

They will probablt pop up in next few weeks in another name and pheonix the firm !!!!
