==History==
BrandSafway was founded on June 22, 2017, when Brand Energy and Infrastructure Services (BEIS) and Safway Group (Safway) combined. Although the company has only been known as BrandSafway since 2017, the history of the companies that formed it dates back to 1919, with the founding of Scaffolding Great Britain (SGB). Over the course of the following century, numerous brands and entities were acquired, rebranded and/or merged to create the BrandSafway family of companies.
