PERI UK will demonstrate a major commitment to the UK scaffolding industry at ScaffEx 2025, taking place at the Manchester Central Convention Complex from 11th-12th September, by showcasing a complete, integrated ecosystem of solutions on a stand nearly four times the size of its previous year's exhibit.
At PERI UK’s 84 m2 stand (E58), visitors will be able to experience how PERI’s core scaffolding, access, and protection systems work together to provide a seamless solution designed to address the sector’s key challenges in safety, buildability, and efficiency.
“Our significantly larger presence at ScaffEx this year is a deliberate statement, reflecting our commitment to partnering with the UK scaffolding sector on a more extensive level,” says Gary Horne, Asset and Scaffold Director at PERI UK. “Contractors are facing more complex projects and higher safety standards than ever before, and they need integrated systems.
We want to show that we’re here to offer a complete solution – one that makes sites safer, assembly easier, and projects more productive. ScaffEx 2025 is a great chance for us to meet customers and talk about how we can support their work.”
PERI UP Flex at the core
The stand will feature PERI’s leading scaffolding system, PERI UP Flex – the foundation of its modular scaffolding solutions across a wide range of applications. Designed for maximum adaptability, it accommodates complex geometries while meeting the highest safety standards for both operatives and the public.
With a 25 cm and 50 cm grid system and a wide range of ledger and deck lengths – starting from 25 cm – PERI UP Flex allows decking to change direction during installation, ensuring full flexibility to meet project-specific requirements.
Introducing PERI UP Public Stairs
In addition, the PERI UP Public Stairs system will make its UK exhibition debut. This system is engineered to provide safe, robust, and compliant access in high-footfall environments such as infrastructure sites and public events. Built on the familiar PERI UP logic for rapid assembly, it meets stringent standards (including SG4 and loads up to 7.5 kN/m²). Features including wide treads, integrated height adjustment on guardrails, and slip-resistant surfaces ensure a safe user experience, while its modularity provides contractors to adapt entry and exit points according to building needs.
Award-winning scaffolding enclosure system
Rounding out the exhibit is the PERI UP Cladding system – winner of the NASC Product of the Year 2024. This flexible scaffolding enclosure enables safe working environments with fast installation, thanks to lightweight, man-handleable components that are lighter than existing systems. This results in faster installation times and reduced worker fatigue as assembly is carried out quickly and safely from within the secured scaffold without the need for specialist tools. The translucent panels also enhance the working environment by allowing natural light in.
The seamless integration of its leading systems – PERI UP Flex, Public Stairs, and Cladding – demonstrate PERI’s ‘one system’ concept in action. This approach is designed to give contractors greater control over project safety, timelines, and profitability by ensuring every part of the system works in harmony.
PERI UK invites scaffolding contractors, project managers, and engineers to visit Stand E58 to experience this integrated approach firsthand and explore how system scaffolding’s flexibility can help overcome common challenges on upcoming projects.
