Since 1949, Upright Scaffolding has been delivering safe, practical, and reliable access solutions for businesses throughout New Zealand. Built on a foundation of trust, expertise, and long-standing relationships, the company has grown into one of Canterbury’s leading scaffolding providers.

The business has been family-owned since 1974, when Nick and Chris Pfahlert’s father purchased Upright Scaffolding. Growing up around the industry, both brothers developed a passion for the trade before eventually taking over the company. Today, Nick and Chris both hold an advanced scaffolding certification and proudly lead the business, combining decades of experience with a hands-on, owner-operated approach.

From a team of around 10 people to a workforce of more than 50 skilled professionals, Upright’s growth has been driven by a commitment to quality, safety, and customer service. The company works with some of New Zealand’s leading industrial and commercial organisations, including ports, processing plants, tank farms, and major construction projects, providing tailored access solutions for even the most complex jobs.

A strong workplace culture is at the heart of the business. With low staff turnover, ongoing training, and a highly experienced team, Upright understands that successful projects rely on well-supported people who take pride in their work and look out for one another.

For Nick and Chris, the company’s success comes down to trust, teamwork, and clear communication.

“Communication is key to keeping our people safe, our projects running smoothly, and our clients informed every step of the way. We want our team to trust each other, work together, and look out for one another through strong planning, risk assessment, and a shared commitment to safety.

Achieving Triple ISO Accreditation across ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 further reflects Upright Scaffolding’s dedication to quality workmanship, environmental responsibility, and industry-leading health and safety standards. In turn, our clients can trust us to deliver practical solutions for even the most challenging at-height projects.”

Nick & Chris Pfahlert | Owners, Upright Scaffolding

Guided by their core values of Solutions, Excellence, Trust, and Teamwork, Upright focuses on finding the best outcome for every client. Whether it’s scaffold hire, delivery, installation, or complex project support, the team works closely with customers to provide practical, reliable at-height solutions.

Project management can be complex, but Upright Scaffolding keeps it simple: the right crew, the right gear, on time. Their commitment to excellence, strong relationships, and practical problem-solving has made them the trusted partner at height for generations of New Zealand businesses.

In 2023, Upright Scaffolding achieved Triple ISO Certification across three internationally recognised standards — ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 — reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to quality management, environmental responsibility, and health & safety excellence within New Zealand’s scaffolding industry.

In 2014 Emma said enough. Fed up with single-use paper towels, tissues and bags clogging up landfills she got to work finding solutions for her family life.  The business started by selling reusable produce bags at the local Saturday market. They repeatedly sold out, so she grew the range to include other sustainable products she wanted but couldn’t find. Sustainable living shouldn’t look boring. Emma fixed that with compostable, plant based, hard-working and seriously good-looking products.

Every Dishcloth, Handkerchiefs, Towels, Bags & Greeting Cards in the range is something Emma’s family uses everyday, chosen because they work, hard enough for real family life, lovely enough to give as gifts. These are the reusable heroes you have been looking for and they help make the switch to sustainable living super easy.

 

“The rules were simple: we had to want to use the products ourselves, and they had to handle our months of testing and trials.”

Emma – Owner 

Reduce, reuse, recycle has always been The Green Collectives mantra but they’ve add re-purpose, re-fresh and re-create to the list. The Green Collective is always looking at everyday habits and asking: could this be better? That curiosity has led to some unexpected places. They have become a bit of a matchmaker for waste, connecting materials that would otherwise be thrown out with organisations who can give them a new life. Recent examples: retired kite surfing kites repurposed into post-surgical drainage bag covers for Cancer Society volunteers. And their limited banner bags made from expired advertising and event banners with expired child car seat straps.

We all love our pets. And you know what they love? The taste of real, wild meat. Truth is, they were once wild themselves, so it’s no wonder they still hanker for a taste of the hunt. The Naked Possum makes pet treats the way they should be – with pure wild possum, and nothing else.

With meat this good, there’s no need to dress it up in dodgy additives. A near-perfect protein, possum is hypoallergenic, high in omega 3 and 6, and packed with essential nutrients. Used as a training treat or a sneaky snack, they’ll drive even the pickiest pets wild.

“Ethically caught and carefully crafted, every piece is made to ignite the senses with drool-worthy smell, texture and taste.”

James Laurie – Owner

The Naked Possum is passionate about keeping our country pest free. Possums impact our natural habitats and put our native species under threat. Controlled and ethical possum hunting helps keep nature’s balance in check, without the need for pesticides. All treats are made in Whangārei through a small, hands on process not large mass production machines to ensure every product meets the high standard The Naked Possum stands for.
