A groundbreaking initiative, the Global Scaffolding Alliance (gSA), has officially launched, aiming to transform the scaffolding industry on a global scale.
Spearheaded by UK-based expert Mark Parkin, the gSA brings together vital international partners from Australia, Denmark, and Canada to create a unified platform for innovation, safety, and excellence.
The gSA’s mission is to unite scaffolding professionals worldwide, fostering collaboration and sharing best practices across borders.
The alliance is set to elevate industry standards by offering a global community where every member, from labourers to CEOs, can contribute to shaping the future of scaffolding.
Mark Parkin, the visionary behind the gSA, emphasised the need for such an initiative:
“The Global Scaffolding Alliance was born from the realisation that despite scaffolding’s crucial global role, the industry lacked a unified platform for sharing knowledge and innovations. The gSA is that platform, bringing together the brightest minds to shape the future of our industry.”
One of the key partners, Tony Nicolaisen, based in Denmark, highlighted the industry’s challenges and the GSA’s role in addressing them: “The gSA has the potential to make a significant impact by tackling issues like labour shortages, safety, and business practices.
If the industry supports our vision, we can create solutions that benefit everyone.”
“Together As One”
The gSA aims to introduce globally recognised qualifications, enhance professional development through training programs, and foster a global network for scaffolding professionals. Members will have opportunities to influence industry standards, access cutting-edge innovations, and connect with peers worldwide.
As the scaffolding industry navigates new challenges, the gSA’s motto, “Together As One,” reflects its commitment to unity and progress.
By joining the gSA, professionals are not just becoming part of an organisation—they are joining a movement dedicated to building a safer, more innovative future for the scaffolding industry.
