The People Behind Edinburgh Rope Access
Nicky Erskine
Founder and Managing Director
With five years of experience working on Aberdeen’s oil rigs, Nicky founded Edinburgh Rope Access in 2011, initially operating with little more than a rope, harness and a set of tools. Through hard work, determination and a commitment to delivering a professional service, the business has grown significantly over the years. One of Nicky’s proudest milestones was purchasing the company’s first office and seeing the Edinburgh Rope Access sign go up, marking an important step in the company’s continued growth and development.
