As Wayne Connolly prepares to assume the role of NASC President tomorrow (November 28,) he has unveiled an ambitious two-year plan that aims to usher in a new era of growth and opportunity for the scaffolding industry. 

Speaking with Scaffolding Insider, Wayne highlighted his vision to modernise the NASC, broaden its reach, and strengthen its position as a driving force for quality and professionalism across the sector.

Wayne’s presidency will focus on enhancing NASC’s relevance to members and the wider industry. Central to his strategy is the #ItHasToBeNASC campaign, which aims to establish NASC membership as the gold standard for scaffolding contractors.

“This campaign has the potential to be a game-changer,” Connolly stated, emphasising plans for increased investment and strategic development.

In addition to bolstering member benefits, Wayne is committed to ensuring NASC represents the entire scaffolding community. “We must be totally inclusive, while maintaining our high standards,” he said, stressing the importance of governance reforms to ensure continuity and strategic direction.

Pioneering Digital Transformation

Wayne identified full digitisation as a critical priority. “The organisation must not only catch up with the tech revolution but also future-proof against further developments,” he explained.

By adopting digital solutions, NASC aims to enhance efficiency, communication, and engagement with the next generation of scaffolding professionals.

Several initiatives will take centre stage during Wayne’s tenure, including:

ScaffEx: The new premier industry event, providing a platform for networking, innovation, and showcasing the industry’s professionalism.

Scaffolding Excellence Awards: Now an independent, inclusive celebration of excellence open to members of all sizes.

Talent Portal: A recruitment and retention tool to address workforce challenges and promote scaffolding as a rewarding career choice.

Commitment to Industry Standards

In his interview, Wayne also highlighted upcoming developments, including the evolution of TG30 system scaffolding guidance and collaboration with CISRS to modernise industry training and certification.

“By aligning resources and goals, we can ensure that both CISRS and NASC continue to thrive,” he said.

A Future-Ready NASC

Connolly expressed his determination to ensure NASC evolves strategically and remains relevant for years to come.

“I am highly ambitious for the organisation,” he concluded, inviting members and the broader industry to join him in realising the potential of NASC and the scaffolding sector.
