Case Studies
At the time of writing this article we have 39 members of staff (office and management). The combined continuous length of employment is 428 years which is an average of nearly 11 years per member of staff. 19 of the 39 have over 10 years continuous service, with 69% over 5 years service. We believe these figures demonstrate the company’s values work. It’s a testament to the Directors, Managers and all the staff that “people want to stay”

Timeline
LTC Group87 Ltd was formed
LTC Group87 Ltd was formed. Trevor Chinn (our Chairman and majority shareholder) started the business as a sole trading scaffold company which was later incorporated in 1997 (LTC Specialist Scaffolding Ltd).
1987Mike Burr
Group Managing Director, Mike Burr joined the company as a Surveyor, later fulfilling the role of Finance Director before taking up his current position.
1998LTC Powered Access
Diversification saw the birth of LTC Powered Access with the purchase of a range of self-propelled booms, diesel and electric scissor lifts. This Division has grown significantly and now has a fleet of over 300 various Access platforms and Telescopic handlers serving the South West.
1999Rob Wills
Rob Wills (Plant and Transport Director) joined the company in January 2001 as a Mechanic. He later progressed into a management role before joining the board of Directors.
Geographical expansion was next on the agenda with the opening of a new depot in Redruth. Initially, scaffolding was the only discipline to operate out of the new depot but further expansion has resulted in all four Divisions being offered to our clients from this depot.
2001IPAF & PASMA Accreditation
LTC Training Services Ltd obtained accreditation for IPAF (Powered Access) training and PASMA (Aluminium Towers) soon after further accreditation followed. LTC Training Services now offers over 38 courses, across 3 training centres, Plymouth, Redruth and Cullompton.
2007Name change - LTC Group87 Ltd
The company took a bold step to change the name of the limited company from LTC Specialist Scaffolding Ltd to LTC Group87 Ltd. This change was considered necessary to fulfil the company’s potential and to demonstrate the transition from a scaffolding company to a complete access solution company that incorporates four Divisions LTC Specialist Scaffolding, LTC Powered Access, LTC Training Services and LTC Hoists Division.
2008Scaffolding training centre built
The completion of a 500m2 purpose built scaffolding training centre that allowed the CISRS accreditation to be obtained, the only such centre in the South West of England. Now 10 years on from the birth of LTC Training Services this Division continues to grow and expand now offering over 40 various training courses and regarded as the South West’s 1st choice for Access training.
2009Re-branding
Re-branding was the next major step in the company’s progression. This gave each Division its own identity whilst remaining in a position of strength due to its collective approach to resourcing and projecting the clean, sharp image that the company and staff deserve.
2010Richmond Walk in Plymouth
Further expansion was considered necessary which resulted in the opening of another depot – Richmond Walk in Plymouth. This depot is the hub of the Powered Access, Transport and Hoist elements of the business.
2011New office block in Redruth
In September further reinvestment saw the construction of a new 2 storey office block in the St Day depot, Redruth.
2013Gail Smith
Gail Smith (Accounts & HR Manager) who has been with the company over 12 years became the Company Secretary.
2016New depot in Cullompton
LTC Specialist Scaffolding Ltd and LTC Training services Ltd opened a new depot in Cullompton. From this depot we are able to serve Somerset, North Devon and Avon more effectively.
We changed 3 of our Divisions into separate legal entities in Sept 2017. LTC Specialist Scaffolding Ltd, LTC Powered Access Ltd and LTC Training Services Ltd are now subsidiaries of LTC Group87 Ltd. This was considered necessary to allow these businesses to continue to expand.
2017New 3 storey office block in Wixenford
Work has recently been completed on a new 3 storey office block at our Head Office in Wixenford. Work has now started for the refurbishment of the existing buildings for use as Training rooms.
2018New Training Rooms at Wixenford
Following the completion of LTC Group 87’s new office block, the next item on the agenda was to re-develop the existing training rooms at our head depot. This involved converting 3 existing offices into brand new, bespoke training rooms.
