The Beginning
Looking back on the history of the business, JMAC was established in 1981 by James McCarthy Senior, who previously served as a regional manager at SGB. He created one of the first independent scaffolding companies in the UK, launching JMAC & Son as a sole trader. During these early years, it was a true family business. James’s daughter, Alison, joined as the bookkeeper, while his son, James McCarthy, worked as a scaffolder.
Eventually, the next generation, including grandchildren Luis, James Jr. & Chloe, started working in the business from a young age, setting the stage for future growth.
