Finalist_CN Awards - Werner UK AdjustaStep PRO Ladder

We’re excited to announce that Werner’s AdjustaStepPRO® has been shortlisted for Product Innovation of the Year (Non-Contractor) at the prestigious CN Specialist Awards - a milestone event now celebrating its 21st anniversary.

Regarded as one of the most respected accolades in specialist construction, the CN Awards honour excellence and innovation across the industry. Judged by an independent panel of over 60 leading principal contractors and industry experts, the awards spotlight groundbreaking contributions that shape the future of construction. Judging will take place in London on July 7, with winners to be revealed at the Royal Lancaster London on Tuesday, September 2.

Mark Robson, Product Manager, shared the story behind the nomination: “At Werner, we’re deeply committed to developing innovative solutions that support tradespeople - particularly when it comes to safety at height. We invest heavily in research and product development to ensure our designs directly address real-world challenges faced on construction sites.”

“One of those challenges is working safely on stairs. All too often, tradespeople resort to unsafe, improvised methods like planks to reach difficult areas. Recognising the dangers of these workarounds, we set out to create a better, safer alternative.

“The result is the AdjustaStep PRO® - a fibreglass hybrid step ladder designed specifically for complex surfaces such as stairs, steps, and uneven ground. Developed over nearly two years in collaboration with trade professionals, the AdjustaStep PRO® combines ergonomic design with high-performance functionality. Its standout feature is an adjustable rear section, allowing for secure, stable positioning on a variety of uneven terrains.”

Launched in February 2025, the AdjustaStep PRO® is already making waves for its ability to enhance safety and efficiency across a range of projects. Whether used by electricians, decorators, or general construction teams, it delivers unmatched versatility in the most challenging environments.

“Safety and innovation are at the heart of everything we do,” Mark Robson added. “The AdjustaStep PRO® is a testament to our commitment to supporting those who work at height - with smart solutions that reduce risk and improve productivity.”

Werner continues to lead the way in developing high-quality, innovative products designed to make working at height safer and smarter. From ladders to access systems, Werner’s portfolio reflects an ongoing dedication to excellence, driven by premium materials and deep industry insight.
