Hundreds of guests from some of the largest specialist scaffolding contractors in the country will be attending the meeting that will be held at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport on Friday 19 November.

The NASC has announced that its keynote speech will this year be delivered by Dame Sarah Storey, the most decorated British Paralympian of all time, having amassed a collection of 28 medals, including 17 golds, across a range of swimming and cycling events.
