Nominations Open for ScaffStars 2025

Nominations are now open for this year’s #ScaffStars – an initiative celebrating individuals who go above and beyond in the scaffolding industry, as part of National Scaffolding Week 2025.

Organised by the Scaffolding Association, National Scaffolding Week will run from Monday, 6 October to Friday, 10 October. Now in its fourth year, the campaign aims to raise awareness of the sector, promote career opportunities, and highlight the industry’s role in communities across the UK.

A central feature of the week is #ScaffStars, which recognises people working in all areas of scaffolding – from site teams to office staff – whose efforts often go unacknowledged but make a real impact on businesses, teams, and clients.

According to the Scaffolding Association, nominees can include scaffolders, apprentices, drivers, inspectors, designers, admin teams, supervisors and support staff.

“This is about highlighting those individuals who embody the values of the scaffolding profession,” the Association said. “People whose work ethic, positivity, or quiet leadership helps raise standards and support others.”

Nominations are open until Monday, 30 September 2025. Selected individuals will be featured on the National Scaffolding Week website and promoted through its social media channels during the campaign.

The Association is also encouraging wider participation in this year’s events. A free digital toolkit is available to help firms take part, including downloadable graphics, banners and email footers. Supporters are being urged to share stories online using campaign hashtags, engage with local schools or colleges, and even suggest new ideas for activities.
