Clive Dickin, Group CEO of NASC and CISRS, is set to take part in the British Heart Foundation London to Brighton Bike Ride on 21 June 2026.

The ride is being undertaken in memory of Wayne Connolly, former president of the NASC, who died late last year following a heart-related condition.

NASC has confirmed the death of its President and Chair, Wayne Connolly. Tributes are expected from across the scaffolding and access industry.

Connolly’s death prompted widespread tributes from across the scaffolding and access sector. As previously reported by Scaffmag, he was regarded as a respected and influential figure in the industry, with many highlighting his contribution over several decades.

In a post shared online, Dickin described Connolly as a colleague, champion and friend, adding that the cause “could not be closer”.

More than £1,200 has already been raised for the appeal, with further support being encouraged from across the industry.

Funds raised will support the British Heart Foundation, which funds research into heart and circulatory diseases. The charity says hundreds of people in the UK die each day from such conditions, despite long-term progress in reducing mortality rates.

Dickin is encouraging support from across the industry, with donations contributing to research, treatment development and prevention.

The London to Brighton Bike Ride is one of the UK’s largest charity cycling events, attracting thousands of riders each year.

You can donate on Clive’s Just Giving Page.
