NASC welcomes new regional chairs and vice chairs as membership growth drives expansion
NASC is delighted to announce the appointment of a number of new regional chairs and vice chairs, as the organisation continues to grow its regional structure in response to substantial membership growth across the UK and Ireland, with core membership up 40% since 2023.
The expansion of regional representation reflects NASC's ongoing commitment to ensuring that members have a strong, locally connected voice. Regional meetings regularly attract more than 100 delegates, a figure that speaks to the depth of engagement across the membership and to the value that members place on the knowledge sharing, input and community that NASCs regional activity provides.
It is a model that sets a benchmark for how a trade association should be run and the strength of the regional structure is central to how NASC and CISRS continue to develop guidance, policy and practice that genuinely reflects the needs of the industry.
The newly appointed chairs and vice chairs are as follows:
London and South-East Chair: David Evans, MR Scaffolding Vice Chair: Martin George, CCS Scaffolding.
West Midlands Chair: Steve Fellows, Malvern Scaffolding Vice Chair: Sam McSpadden, Phoenix Group.
East Midlands Vice Chair: Jay Love, Access 2.
North-East Vice Chair: Luis McCarthy, JMAC Industrial and Access Group
North-West Chair: Roy Rodgers, Enigma Industrial Services. Vice Chair: Kyle Whittle, KW Scaffolding.
Wales Chair: David Anderson, Allen and Foxworthy. Vice Chair: Kate Thomson, Thomson Scaffolding
Ireland Chair: Robert Andrews, Advanced NI Scaffolding
They join our existing chairs and vice chairs who continue to serve their regions with distinction:
East Midlands Chair: Lisa Rooney, Midland Scaffolding Services.
North- East Chair: Darren Maratty, Interlink Scaffolding.
South-West Chair: Dave Battison, Chris Sedgeman Scaffolding. Vice Chair: Lizzie Bennett, Blencowe Scaffolding.
Scotland Chair: Ronnie Charters, RDA Scaffolding. Vice Chair: Mark Skinner, City Access Scaffolding
NASC also takes this opportunity to thank Michael Lloyd of LTC Scaffolding Ltd, who is stepping down as South-East regional chair after giving eight years of valued service to NASC and its members. His contribution to the regional structure and to the wider NASC community has been greatly appreciated and we wish him all the best.
Clive Dickin, Group CEO of NASC and CISRS, said: "Our regions are at the heart of NASC and what it does and the regional chairs and vice chairs are fundamental to how we serve members on the ground.
“They are the connection between NASC and the businesses and people that make up our membership, and I am delighted to welcome this new group into their roles. The calibre of those elected is excellent and I look forward to working with them all."
