Surge in NASC Membership as Standards Seen as “Best in Market”

 

Following enhancements in its entry standards, National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) proudly announces that it has over 800 members, a growth in some categories by over 24% in one year. As now the largest trade body within the scaffolding and access industry, NASC plans its continued growth under pinned by the recognition of its standards within the public sector clients. This significant achievement underscores NASC’s commitment to supporting its members and promoting best practices in safety, quality, and professionalism throughout the sector.

With an extensive network of members, including scaffolding contractors, manufacturers, and suppliers, NASC serves as a vital resource for industry expertise and collaboration. NASC’s CEO has recently written to every local authority, council and unitary authority questioning the procurement practice of generic accreditations in high-risk operations and the untested issuing of road permits.

NASC’s CEO Clive Dickin commented: “Recent incidents with the winter storms and the proliferation of a less than rigorous procurement process within local government has raised concerns. As the largest scaffolding and access trade body in the UK, we have now raised NASC members concerns at local level and will continue to press for better procurement practices recognising NASC membership standards and audit as the minimum standard recognised by HMG.”

As NASC continues to expand its membership and influence, we remain steadfast in our mission to elevate the scaffolding and access industry. We invite industry professionals to join us in this journey toward excellence, collaboration, and innovation.
