Workdek

Opportunity

Workdek is a revolutionary stable work platform system developed for the building sector which allows builders working at any height to operate at full speed without any risk of falls. The clever modular Workdek system comprises lightweight injection-moulded plastic panels which clip into place in any building size and provide stable footing whilst preventing any falls from occurring. A Workdek franchise provides existing building sector operators and suppliers with the opportunity of a lucrative additional revenue stream whilst improving productivity and safety for builders. Manufactured in New Zealand, this cutting-edge technology has been developed by builders for builders and is quite simply a game-changer for the local building industry.

Franchisor Profile

With 25 years’ experience as a group building company franchisee, Workdek owner David Grigor knows firsthand the frustrations of building delays caused by health and safety concerns, and the fallibility of long-standing fall protection systems available for builders. With most systems concerned with safety after a fall, David sought a different solution – one that eliminated the risk of falls in the first place. Searching the globe for ideas to improve safety in the building industry, David has invested significantly in developing the unique Workdek platform technology for the New Zealand market, including a dedicated manufacturing facility in Huntly. This ensures that not only are the platforms produced locally, but that Workdek have a long-term commitment to the domestic building industry and that Franchise Partners will not experience ongoing supply shortages.
