Leading the Way in Youth Employment
Investing in the Future
We are absolutely delighted to announce that Mar Scaffolding is the first scaffolding company in Scotland to have achieved the new Investors in Young People award. Nat, our Managing Director has commented: “Training and investment in young people has long been an integral part of our business aims: many of our core staff came to us as school leavers and our high level of staff retention is testimony to the stability and opportunities within the company. We are proud to have received the IIYP award in recognition of our commitment to supporting young people, especially at a time when Fife as a region is experiencing very high levels of youth unemployment.”
Peter Russian, Chief Executive of Investors in People Scotland, said “I’m delighted that Mar Scaffolding have achieved IIYP and IIP accreditation. To see over 1,000 young people working in IIYP accredited organisations in such a short space since the launch date is testimony of the appeal, rigour and value that organisations across Scotland are putting on the award. We now have organisations accredited in nearly every geographical part of Scotland covering the private, public and third sector”

Dunfermline Charity Beer Festival 2017
Getting Involved with Local Charities
For the last four years, Mar Scaffolding have been working with the organisers of Dunfermline's hugely popular Beer Festival, providing a scaffolding frame for kegs of artisans beers & ciders. The event runs for one weekend in October and features live music from local bands. Money raised on both days goes towards local charities via Dunfermline Roundtable.
Bathgate Distillery Works
Working With Industry
Billy McKie and his squad are currently working at the Glen Turner Distillery in Bathgate, providing round the clock support for their fast paced site shutdown for maintenance. The works are both technically and physically demanding, meaning only our most experienced scaffolders and labourers are attending site. Mar Scaffolding have provided scaffolding services at this site for many years, and hope to continue this relationship in years to come.
Investors In People Success
Recognising Excellence
We are delighted to announce we have succesfully retained our Investors In People accreditation for the ninth year in a row. We are very proud of our association with the body, and are pleased that we have yet again demonstrated our commitment to excellence in the work place. Mar Scaffolding have been working with IIP since 2005 and look forward to a long and fruitful relationship in years to come.
