Partnering with Forster Group to future-proof operations through a 36.4 kWp Solar PV system

A New Energy Chapter for Ramsay Ladders

Since 1946, Ramsay Ladders has been a trusted name across the UK. Based in Forfar, Angus, the family-run business combines generations of manufacturing skills with modern production methods to supply ladders, steps and bespoke access systems to customers operating in a wide range of sectors.

Manufacturing since 1771

Since 1771, Ramsay Ladders has grown and adapted through several eras of change. What began as a small operation producing equipment for local textile mills gradually developed into a specialist manufacturer of wooden ladders, before expanding into aluminium products and bespoke access solutions. Supported by a skilled workforce and investment in modern machinery, they have evolved into one of the UK’s most relied upon ladder manufacturers.

The Challenge

As Ramsay Ladders continue to modernise operations, they recognise that energy costs continue to increase. Investment in new advanced machinery, including the CNC machining centre, increases their reliance on electricity.

Simultaneously, there is a growing expectation from their supply chain to reduce their carbon footprint.

Our Solution.

To support their future-focused strategy, Ramsay Ladders partnered with Forster Group to design and install a 36.4 kWp Solar PV system. The solution was carefully tailored to support ongoing operational modernisation, reduce carbon emissions and manage rising energy demand -  all while keeping day-to-day production running smoothly.

“We would not hesitate to recommend Forster Group to anyone considering a Solar PV installation. The team has been knowledgeable, efficient and reliable throughout. We were blown away by the fast turnaround once the project was approved and further impressed by how smoothly the installation was delivered. The whole team has been a credit to Forster Group.”
