Trade Body Offers International Membership

ADVERTISEMENT

The National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) has launched an international information membership category in response to a growing demand from firms based overseas. 

The scaffolding trade body has said the new category recently launched is open to any non-contracting scaffolding industry organisation trading outside of the UK.

The new category is open to training providers, health and safety consultants, scaffold designers, insurers and other service providers to the access and scaffolding industry. 

The new category of membership has been created for companies outside of the UK who work within the scaffolding industry but do not carry out contract scaffolding.

Robin James, NASC Managing Director, said: “In recent years we have found that more and more businesses involved in the scaffolding industry overseas have been looking to forge closer relationships with the NASC and enjoy the wide range of benefits already afforded to their UK-based counterparts through the NASC Information Membership.

“We are delighted to address this demand and look forward to welcoming international information members from across the globe into the NASC fold.”
