ABOUT US
Since its foundation over a century ago, Cape has had a varied and colourful history. The Cape Group was founded in 1893 as an importer and manufacturer of insulation products. Between 1893 and the 1950s, the company grew rapidly acquiring or building factories and companies in the UK and overseas.Our History
During the 1950s the Company set up its contracting operations and began to further its horizons with international expansion though Cape East.
In 1976, the Group further broadened its service offering with the creation of Cape Scaffolding, which was set up to meet the access needs of many of its customers.
In 1994, Cape Contracts and Cape Scaffolding merged into single unit - Cape Industrial Services, which provided services to all markets except the Middle East and Asia, which were serviced by Cape East. This structure was reviewed in 2007 when all Cape Group companies were brought under the unified Cape brand name.
In 2007, Cape developed a significant presence in Australia through the acquisition of TCC, Concept Hire and PCH Group.
