National Scaffolding Week

It brings us great pleasure to announce that the first National Scaffolding Week (NSW) will take place in 2022. NSW is a one of its kind event – bringing a much-needed platform to the scaffolding and access industry for the first time to help raise the profile of careers and achievements within the sector.

NSW provides the opportunity to shine a light on the diverse and wide range of career options and skills training available within the sector and inspire a new generation, or those looking for a new challenge, to take up a role within the scaffolding industry.

Not only will NSW promote scaffolding as a viable and rewarding career option for those from all walks of life, but it will also provide a platform on which to highlight some of the great achievements of the organisations and individuals already operating within the sector and showcase best practice, innovation and determination.

Get involved

There are plenty of ways you can get involved with NSW whether you’re currently working within the sector, are looking to change careers or are just about to embark on your first role after leaving school – there’s something for everyone.

During the course of the week, NSW will be bringing you awards, competitions, access to a wide range of educational resources and a first-hand look at what it’s like to work within the industry.

Nominate your Scaffolding Star

There are some incredibly inspiring, resilient and dedicated people in the scaffolding and access industry, if you know of someone who deserves to be recognised for their efforts, show them your appreciation with a nomination in our Scaffolding Star awards.

We have created a handy social media toolkit for you to download which includes images, logos and some ideas to get you started on social media as well as details of our social handles and some other handy social media tips!

By tagging us on the relevant social channel we can share your posts and engage directly with you.

On your landmarks – Get set, go!

With the launch of National Scaffolding Week, comes the launch of our first scaffolding competition. The scaffolding sector is home to some very talented and creative people and what better way to show what’s possible with some scaffolding tubes and fittings than holding a friendly competition?

In order to compete, we’ll be asking for competitors to replicate a famous landmark from across the globe using equipment from their yard. Can you replicate the Eiffel Tower? Or perhaps Buckingham Palace to celebrate the Queen’s 70th Jubilee! Whatever landmark you choose, be sure it meets the criteria for the competition – further details will be issued via the newsletter.

Don’t forget!

One last thing – don’t forget to sign up for the newsletter! We’ll send regular updates up until NSW to keep you updated with all the latest news and events planned for the week. By signing up to the newsletter you’ll also be amongst the first to hear about the competition criteria as well as details and deadlines for nominating your Scaffolding Star.

We’re looking for the absolute stars of the scaffolding industry, those that have gone over and above in their roles to exceed expectations, break down barriers and help raise the profile of the industry while still continuing to carry out their day to day job.
