Decking the halls need not be a disaster waiting to happen with the specialist ladder ranges now available from BiGDUG.
Adorning your office with festive decorations to get your workforce into the holiday spirit can often end in a trip to AandE as thousands of people in the UK found out last year alone.
29-year-old Lee Carlisle from Nottingham had a bad experience last year, he said, "I was putting up the Christmas tree and was just adding the lights, when I lost my footing and tripped over the black bin liner I had put on the top of my step ladder".
"Needless to say I went head first into the tree, knocked it down and damaged most of the decorations! Luckily it only resulted in a few bruises but I can see how it could have been much worse, especially if I had of been outside attaching lights to the outside of the building".
Managing Director at BiGDUG, the experts in racking, shelving and storage solutions, Doug Nourse, said, "We are pleased to be able to offer a solution to this all too common problem".
"We tend to be mainly recognised as one of the biggest UK stores offering shelving and racking to businesses and homeowners, however we have many other products available for purchase, our ladder range is extremely popular" One of the most popular products available from BiGDUG is their Industrial Step Ladders priced at a mere GBP69 excluding VAT.
This novel ladder range is strong and durable making it ideal for industrial environments and even features gusset bracing and hinged locking stays, providing increased rigidity- essential for putting up those Christmas decorations and encouraging that festive cheer! For those seeking something a bit more compact for ease of storage, the Compact Step ladders from the experts at BiGDUG certainly hit the nail on the head.
Their Compact range is manufactured to EN131 standards and even folds to a depth of 84, great for in the office where storage space is limited.
The range even comes with an integrated tool tray with a hook at the top of the ladder to avoid mishaps this Christmas, and what's more for those of you who would rather be having a nice glass of wine in your spare time, fear not as this ladder range even comes pre-assembled for immediate use.
Mr Nourse added, "At BiGDUG we realise how important it is to avoid unnecessary blunders and trips to AandE this December and we welcome any enquiries from both businesses and consumers about any of our ladder ranges".
"Just give us a call and we will happy to help you, lets make sure everyone has a safe and happy Christmas this year.".
