A key moment in the AGM was the official handover to incoming NASC President, Sarah Klieve, Business Director at High Peak Scaffolding, who takes over the role from IBN Scaffolding’s David Brown at an important time for NASC and CISRS as they continue to strengthen influence and support for members across the UK.
Attendees heard about the significant progress made by both NASC and CISRS throughout 2025, including continued work to raise standards, improve safety and support skills development across the scaffolding and access sector. The meeting also outlined ambitious plans for the remainder of 2026, with a strong focus on member engagement, industry leadership and workforce development.
The AGM also welcomed new governance arrangements, including the appointment of two new members to the NASC Board, Lee Rowswell Group Director at GKR Scaffolding and Malvern Scaffolding’s Managing Director, Steve Fellows. Their experience and expertise will help guide the organisation as it continues to evolve and respond to the needs of the industry.
Members also took the opportunity to recognise the contribution of two departing Council members, Mike Lloyd and James Attridge, who have been valued supporters of the NASC Council for many years. Both were thanked for their dedication, commitment and service to the organisation.
Another significant development announced at the AGM was the official launch of NASC's new regional structure. The new model introduces 10 locally focused regions, designed to strengthen engagement with members, create more opportunities for collaboration and ensure regional priorities are represented more effectively across the organisation.
Speaking after the AGM, Group CEO Clive Dickin, said:
"Today's AGM demonstrated the strength and momentum of both NASC and CISRS. It was an opportunity to celebrate what we have achieved together, thank those who have made a significant contribution to our success and look ahead to an exciting future. It is really positive to see that we are in such a strong position to continue supporting members and driving standards across the sector."
“NASC continues to grow its membership and UK commercial presence, with innovations such as ScaffEx and TG30. This helps to ensure reduced subscription rates to an open and transparent membership. And we are also working to ensure that CISRS is properly invested in so that it continues to meet the needs of employers and trainees.”
