BrandSafway Merger 10/17/2018

BrandSafway was formed when Brand Energy and Infrastructure Services (BEIS) and Safway Group (Safway) merged in 2017. With a commitment to safety as its foremost value, BrandSafway provides a broad range of services, products and solutions to the industrial, commercial and infrastructure markets worldwide. A portfolio company of Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, BrandSafway offers work access, scaffolding, insulation, coatings, specialty industrial services, and forming and shoring solutions to more than 32,000 customers through a workforce of approximately 35,000 employees and a network of more than 350 strategic locations across 30 countries. BrandSafway is headquartered in Kennesaw, Georgia

Safway Services Information Box Update--> BrandSafway

After the merger of Safway Services and Brand Energy & Infrastructure Services I recommend that the company be updated to the BrandSafway logo.

Industry = Access & Industrial Services Founded = 1919 Headquarters = Kennesaw, Georgia Area Served = Global Key People = Bill Hayes (President & CEO) Number of Employees = 35,000 Website = www.brandsafway.com

The changes above are accurate and can be found on the company's website above.

Hi Cwills brandsafway I have moved the page and uploaded the logo, Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 15:58, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi KylieTastic are you also able to update the external links from www.safway.com to www.brandsafway.com

External Link Change- 01/09/2019

Hi

I see that the external link at the bottom of the webpage still has the link to Safway.com. I believe it should be updated to match the link in the description box, "www.brandsafway.com" since the company experienced a merger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arieswonder (talk • contribs) 21:03, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
