  3. Our History

Scaffold Erection Services Limited was established as a family owned business in Birmingham in 1974.  It has steadily grown to become a leading contract scaffolding service provider in the Midlands and has expanded into the North West of England.

Former owner Kevin Ward, past President of the National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC), put significant investment into driving industry standards across the scaffolding and access industry.  Using SES as an example of best practice, the business was able to demonstrate the benefits of adopting best practice, both for its clients, its employees and the wider communities it serves as a whole. 

In May 2016, SES moved from one family to another, when it was acquired by Denholm Industrial Group, the Industrial Services division of J. & J. Denholm (the Denholm Group).

The strength of SES in the Midlands - and more recently, its growing reputation in the North West - complements the footprint of Denholm Industrial Group, which has eight sites across the UK operated through four established businesses.  Combining the skills, experience and expertise of these businesses has helped to create a UK-wide provider of access solutions and industrial services.

A Family Business

The Denholm Group operates four divisions: Shipping, Logistics, Seafoods and Industrial Services. The Group was originally founded as a ship agent and factor by James Denholm in 1866, who was joined in the business by his brother John in 1869. Today, the Group is still owned by John’s descendants. With their roots in shipping and maritime services, the companies of the Denholm Group have evolved into businesses that work collaboratively with their customers and stakeholders. The Group employs over 1,000 people across 50 locations.
