The CSCS Alliance has confirmed the appointment of Marion Marsland as its new Chair, marking a significant leadership change for the body representing 37 card schemes across construction.Marsland brings more than four decades of experience in the thermal insulation sector. Her background spans contracting, distribution and manufacturing, followed by long-standing trade association leadership at TICA. She is credited with strengthening apprenticeship pathways, enhancing competence frameworks and promoting the role of insulation in safety and energy efficiency.
Her appointment comes as Government and industry increase their focus on skills through the Construction Skills Mission Board, set up by the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) to drive the recruitment of an additional 100,000 workers per year by the end of this Parliament.
Speaking on her appointment, Marsland said the Alliance will place greater emphasis on the data held across more than two million cardholders. She said this insight will support industry bodies and Government in targeting training resources more effectively. She added that combining these datasets with CSCS Smart Check, the Alliance’s card-checking system, reinforces its position as the sector’s single point of contact for carding and competence.
Marsland succeeds Jay Parmar, Chief Executive of the Joint Industry Board and a member of the Industry Competence Committee, who served as Chair from 2021.
Parmar is recognised for strengthening collaboration between schemes, overseeing the rollout of CSCS Smart Check and sharpening the Alliance’s focus on competence and data. He said it had been “a privilege” to serve in the role and praised the sector’s unified progress in raising standards and improving safety.
The Alliance says Marsland will continue work to deepen collaboration across industry, support the national competence agenda and ensure the body remains central to improving skills and safety across the built environment.

Tilbury Scaffolding has introduced a new fixing in honour of Alan Gale, a widely respected figure in the scaffolding supply sector whose career spanned several decades across the UK and Ireland.The Essex-based company developed the Gale Force Bolt as a practical tribute to Gale’s contribution to the trade. Colleagues describe him as steady, reliable and supportive, with a depth of industry knowledge built through years of work in sales, supply and logistics.
The late Alan Gale
Gale grew up in Collier Row in the London Borough of Havering and entered work young, taking early delivery jobs before moving into scaffolding supply. He built a reputation based on trust rather than title, forming strong working relationships and helping many younger workers find their footing in the industry.
A significant part of his career was spent in Ireland during the mid-1990s, where he worked weekly in Dublin and became known for his expertise in stock control, transport, and customer service. The connections he formed there remained throughout his life and extended his influence across the wider scaffolding community.
In later years, Gale joined Tilbury Scaffolding, where he played a steady role in developing the company’s sales operation. The business credits him with strengthening customer relationships, sharing valuable contacts and supporting colleagues with his calm, practical approach. Even during illness, he remained committed to the work and the people around him.
The Gale Force Bolt
The Gale Force Bolt is engineered specifically for everyday scaffolding applications, offering a practical upgrade over traditional market options. Its 21 mm hex head is fully compatible with standard scaffold spanners, eliminating the need for changing to a 19 mm socket—meaning one less thing to carry on site.
Designed for quick, reliable installation, the bolt requires no resin or rawl plugs and can be fixed directly into brick, concrete, timber, and other suitable solid substrates. The fixing can be used for single and double tie bars, shear ties and band & plates to name a few.
As the product tagline puts it: “No more extra socket in your pocket.”
Key Features
Delivers strong, consistent performance across multiple substrates such as concrete, brick, blockwork, and stone.
Designed to secure firmly without generating expansion pressure, protecting the base material.
Well-suited for fixing close to edges, where traditional anchors may cause cracking.
Can be easily removed and refitted, making it ideal for temporary setups or ongoing maintenance.
Threads cut and grip throughout the full length, ensuring reliable anchoring even in hollow or mixed-density materials.
Eliminates the need for precision marking—simply drill through the fixture and tighten.
Finished with a Zinc and Yellow coating to enhance corrosion protection.
Tilbury Scaffolding said the design reflects the qualities Gale was known for: reliability, consistency and straightforward performance on site.
The product is set to launch in 2026. A donation from every box sold will go to Saint Francis Hospice in recognition of the support provided to Gale and his family during his final year.
The company said the bolt is intended not just as a new fixing for the market but as a reminder of the individuals whose work supports the scaffolding supply chain. For many who knew him, the Gale Force Bolt represents the values Alan Gale brought to the industry and the legacy he leaves behind.

This article has been updated as authorities confirm a revised death toll and launch a criminal and corruption inquiry.At least 128 people have died, and about 200 remain unaccounted for after a fire spread rapidly across bamboo scaffolding and flammable netting at the Wang Fuk Court estate in Hong Kong. Police have arrested three renovation company staff on suspicion of manslaughter as investigators begin a full probe into safety and fire compliance.s
caffmag previously reported on the fire when the death toll stood at 55. Authorities have now confirmed a significantly higher number of fatalities as rescue operations end and investigators begin entering the damaged towers.
Firefighters and emergency teams battled the blaze for 42 hours across seven of the estate’s eight high-rise blocks. Officials described it as the deadliest residential fire in Hong Kong for nearly eight decades.
The latest figures confirm 128 dead and 79 injured, including 12 firefighters. The extent of structural damage means many of the missing may only be located once full access is possible. The fire department said temperatures reached around 500C, causing repeated flare-ups even after sections were initially controlled.
Investigators say the fire began at a lower level before climbing bamboo scaffolding wrapped in construction mesh. The estate had been undergoing major renovation and was covered in flammable materials, including foam boards used to seal windows. These materials are believed to have accelerated vertical and lateral fire spread under windy conditions.
Police revealed that all eight towers’ fire-alarm systems were not functioning effectively at the time of the incident. Residents told local media that alarms had been disabled during renovation work, and several had previously raised concerns about the type of materials being installed.
Three staff from the renovation contractor, including two company directors and an engineering consultant, have been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. Police have also opened a corruption inquiry into renovation approvals and procurement.
Authorities said 89 of the recovered bodies have not yet been identified. Sixteen bodies remain inside the buildings, and recovery teams will begin systematic searches once the structures are deemed safe to enter.
Hong Kong’s government has announced a full review of renovation safety standards, temporary works rules and the use of bamboo scaffolding on occupied buildings. Anger is rising across the city as questions mount over regulatory oversight and enforcement.
Wang Fuk Court, built in 1983, contains nearly 2,000 apartments and housed about 4,600 residents, many of them elderly. With a large number of deaths still unconfirmed, the event is expected to reshape building-safety policy in one of the world’s most densely populated urban areas.

The Autumn Budget has drawn strong criticism from scaffolding, construction and housebuilding leaders, who warn that a combination of higher wage costs, frozen tax thresholds and new tax rises on business owners will increase pressure across the sector during a period of already weak output and tight labour supply.Chancellor Rachel Reeves confirmed today a major package of tax increases alongside higher wage floors and new public-investment commitments. An early release of the Office for Budget Responsibility’s fiscal outlook shows weaker land supply, a deeper fall in new-build completions and continued pressure on rental supply.
NASC: “taxes, taxes and a bit more taxes”
Clive Dickin, chief executive of the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC), said the Budget “feels like taxes, taxes and a bit more taxes”, warning that the extended freeze on income tax thresholds risks discouraging lower-rate workers from moving confidently from benefits into employment.
He said the rise in the minimum wage would add cost pressure to scaffolding employers, particularly those bringing in new recruits and supporting them through essential entry-level training and qualifications. “This Budget leaves many unanswered questions,” he said.
Dickin welcomed the Government’s new Youth Employment Guarantee in principle, but said it lacks the detail needed for employers to plan. He added that NASC continues to press for greater flexibility in training bootcamps and remains focused on protecting the competency standards that underpin high-quality apprenticeships.
Dividend tax rise and EOT changes hit construction business owners
The Chancellor confirmed a rise of two percentage points on dividend, property and savings income from April 2026, pushing the ordinary dividend rate to 10.75 per cent and the upper rate to 35.75 per cent.
In a further move affecting construction SMEs, Reeves cut the Capital Gains Tax relief available on Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) sales from 100 per cent to 50 per cent with immediate effect. EOT transfers have become more common among contractors and specialist subcontractors as a succession route. The Treasury expects the measure to raise £3.5bn over six years.
Tax specialists say both changes will directly reduce post-tax income for directors and founders, especially in smaller scaffolding and construction firms where dividends form a central part of remuneration.
Labour cost increases draw sharp reaction
The National Living Wage will rise by 4.1 per cent to £12.71 an hour from April 2026, with further increases for younger workers and apprentices. Employment partner Philip Pepper described the rise as a “massive blow”, arguing that the combined effect of wage inflation, National Insurance adjustments and payroll compliance requirements will strain contractors’ budgets through 2026.
Engineering consultancy Sutcliffe said the Budget leaves firms being asked to deliver growth while absorbing sharply higher employment costs. Labour-intensive trades such as scaffolding are expected to feel the impact earlier and more acutely.
Buy-to-let sector under renewed pressure
Stuart Law, chief executive of Assetz Capital, said the Budget represents “another decisive step” in the decline of traditional buy-to-let. Higher taxes on property income, frozen thresholds and a tightening regulatory environment are expected to reduce landlord returns further.
The OBR forecasts continued rent increases as more small landlords exit the market. Law said renters should expect “sustained upward rent reviews” into the late 2020s as supply remains constrained.
New-build collapse highlights planning failures
The OBR analysis confirms a deeper drop in new-build completions than forecast earlier this year, with net additions expected to fall to around 215,000 in 2026–27. Law said the planning system remains slow, inconsistent and “risk-averse”, with under-resourced departments and political delays restricting the flow of development land.
He warned that even if demand strengthens, developers cannot accelerate delivery without a reliable supply of permissions.
Housing delivery forecast to rise, but industry doubts persist
The OBR expects housing delivery to exceed 300,000 net additions by 2029–30 as planning reforms take effect. Law said these projections depend on regulatory simplification for SME housebuilders, who remain constrained by fragmented requirements and slow decision-making.
“Smaller developers face delay after delay,” he said. “Without meaningful reform, these forecasts will not materialise.”
Construction labour shortages remain a structural barrier
The OBR highlights weak inward migration of skilled construction workers as a major constraint on output. Law said the workforce loss in recent years has become a “structural limit” that will restrict delivery even if planning reforms accelerate.
For scaffolding firms, tightening labour availability continues to push up day rates and slow project mobilisation.
Industry outlook
Construction leaders say the Budget increases financial pressure while leaving fundamental issues unresolved, including workforce shortages, delayed planning reform and uncertainty over the future of training pathways.
Scaffolding and access firms warn that higher labour costs, additional tax burdens and tight cashflow conditions risk suppressing investment and recruitment through 2026.

A Teesside rope access scaffolder has spoken out about his near-fatal steroid addiction, which cost him more than £35,000 and left him in a medically-induced coma for seven days.Zak Wilkinson, 32, from Middlesbrough, spent over two years abusing performance-enhancing drugs whilst preparing for bodybuilding competitions. The rope access scaffolder was injecting steroids up to three times daily, spending more than £750 each month on substances including Anavar, Masteron and Equipoise.
His extreme regime included six meals a day consisting of just five foods – broccoli, chicken, rice, egg whites and steak – alongside at least 45 minutes of daily cardio. He meticulously tracked every aspect of his diet and exercise, weighing even the syrups in his coffee and salt on his food. His Apple Watch constantly monitored his steps and calories burnt, whilst a notepad recorded his meals and morning weight.
On 23 March, Wilkinson’s brutal routine caught up with him when he began having seizures, vomiting and sweating profusely. His sister, Chelsea, 37, put him in the recovery position and called an ambulance.
He was rushed to the ICU unit at James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough, where doctors initially suspected meningitis. They soon realised his symptoms resulted from steroid use combined with fat loss tablets.
Medical staff placed him in a medically induced coma and advised his family to prepare for the worst. He was diagnosed with “likely provoked seizures in the context of multiple drugs”.

After a gruelling week, Wilkinson pulled through, though he remained non-verbal for three days. Doctors described it as miraculous that he avoided neurological damage. However, he has had to relearn how to walk and initially lacked the strength to lift his three-year-old son, Saint.
Wilkinson has recently appeared as a guest on The View with Vertex podcast, where he shared his story in detail with the aim of deterring other young people from following the same dangerous path.
Speaking about his addiction, he said: “They get a grip of you. When you’re on them you’re training a lot harder and more frequently. That’s when addiction can start becoming involved. For me, focusing and concentrating even more on myself meant I lost myself in the process. You get to a stage where it almost cost me my life.”
He explained that the addiction can go far beyond the physical effects. The steroid use can affect your libido, cause erectile dysfunction and lead to severe mood swings. “If you’re someone who suffered from mood swings it’s who you take them out on and you can become snappy,” he said.
The financial burden was equally significant. “The financial side as well – mine was high as I was injecting multiple times a day,” Wilkinson added. “When taking steroids you’re taking different hormones too whether it’s peptides or a growth hormone. I was taking fat loss tablets with it to accelerate weight loss.”
The combination of substances created a vicious cycle. “I was having more caffeine as I found myself tired more. For me everything was noted. I had a notepad with me tracking my meals, my weight on a morning. I had my Apple watch on me checking steps and checking calories burnt. It’s a very strict regime.”
Wilkinson’s story comes as former Great British Bake Off contestant John Whaite has also opened up about his struggles with steroids, revealing they led him to contemplate ending his life. Whaite began using the drugs after looking in the mirror and feeling hatred for his reflection.
“I can resonate,” said Wilkinson, who maintained a similarly strict diet to the Strictly star. “In this day and age now people are wanting to take things to make things look better facially and physically look huge. People are taking them to look good in a photo or a seven-day, 10 day holiday, whatever it may be. The sad effects are coming after it.”
Now recovered, Wilkinson hopes his experience will serve as a stark warning to others in the bodybuilding community and beyond about the devastating consequences of steroid abuse.

Leading construction and scaffolding safety specialist SIMIAN has marked 20 years of trading since its establishment in November 2005.
The Warrington-based organisation has grown from a small team of industry experts to become one of the UK’s foremost training and consultancy organisations, now operating three core training centres and three satellite locations across the country.
SIMIAN runs facilities in Warrington, the London Academy of Sustainable Construction (LASC), and SOMAX in Weston-Super-Mare, with additional satellite centres in Menai, Kent, and Letchworth.
The company has broadened its offering beyond scaffolding in recent years, opening a dedicated roofing training centre at its Warrington headquarters. The move came in response to growing demand for specialist roofing training.
Throughout its two decades in business, SIMIAN has stuck to a clear mission: raising standards, improving safety, and ensuring construction workers are skilled, confident, and compliant. The organisation works with businesses of all sizes across multiple sectors.
Simon Hughes, managing director at SIMIAN, said: “Reaching 20 years in business is an incredible achievement and a proud moment for our entire team. From our very first day, our focus has been on ensuring safe, compliant, and efficient working practices for the UK construction industry.“Over the years, our team has grown, our training centres have expanded, and our services have evolved, but our commitment to excellence has never wavered. We look forward to continuing to support and develop the workforce for the next 20 years and beyond.”
The company started with a single training centre in Warrington and has since built a network of facilities serving different regions across the UK. This geographical spread has allowed SIMIAN to deliver training programmes to a much wider area.
SIMIAN’s services cover scaffolding safety, roofing work, and broader construction industry requirements, including both training delivery and consultancy work for construction businesses.
The company says it will continue developing its training and safety services for the construction sector, maintaining its position as a key provider of safety training and compliance support for UK construction businesses.
SIMIAN thanked its clients, delegates, partners, and team members for their support over the past 20 years, acknowledging that their collaboration has helped establish the company as a recognised name in construction safety and training.

Construction supply chain firms are warning that potential tax increases in next week’s Autumn Budget could derail the sector’s fragile recovery, with material costs and project delays likely to increase.Terry Paterson, commercial director at EPD, an aftermarket parts supplier for construction machinery, said the industry is already struggling with high input prices, rising energy and transport costs, and supply chain disruption.
“If tax rises go ahead, those pressures will compound: margins will shrink, material orders may be delayed or cancelled, and that will feed upstream into manufacturing and suppliers,” he said.
The Construction Products Association has sharply downgraded its output forecasts for the sector. Total construction output is now expected to grow by just 1.1 per cent in 2025 and 2.8 per cent in 2026, down from earlier projections of 1.9 per cent and 3.7 per cent.
Private housing has seen the steepest downgrade, with output now forecast to rise by 2.0 per cent in 2025 and 4.0 per cent in 2026, compared with previous forecasts of 4.0 per cent and 7.0 per cent.
UK construction activity fell sharply in October, with the S&P Global UK Construction PMI dropping to 44.1 from 46.2 in September. It was the tenth consecutive month below the 50.0 threshold that separates growth from contraction, marking the longest continuous downturn since the financial crisis.
Paterson said EPD’s customers are reporting stagnant business, with some seeing activity down by 20 per cent. “If taxes go up, this already weak situation could collapse further,” he said.
He called for clear signalling of tax policy so suppliers and contractors can budget and plan, along with supply chain resilience support, including backing for UK manufacturing of construction products.
“The Autumn Budget is a pivotal moment for our industry,” Paterson said. “We understand the need for financial discipline, but if the government introduces policies that make houses more expensive or discourage buyers, it could derail the fragile recovery in homebuilding.”
The Budget is scheduled for 26 November.

The Scaffolding Association Australia has appointed two non-executive board members and expanded the role of an existing director as the organisation strengthens its governance structure.
Tina Wieczorek and Erryn O’Brien have joined the board as non-executive members, while executive director Jordy Adshead has taken on the additional role of secretary. The appointments sit alongside the continued leadership of chair Robert Thiess and vice chair Danny Zarb.
Wieczorek brings senior experience from New Zealand’s scaffolding, rigging and specialist trades sectors. She is the former chief executive of Scaffolding, Access and Rigging New Zealand and currently chairs the New Zealand Specialist Trade Contractors Federation.
She has worked on regulatory reform, licensing frameworks and vocational education policy and helped establish formal agreements between SARNZ, the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation in the UK and the SAA.
“It was a privilege to meet so many passionate members in Sydney and hear firsthand about the challenges, innovation and pride that drive this sector forward,” Wieczorek said. “The camaraderie and professionalism across the room reminded me how strong this community truly is.”
O’Brien, the association’s general manager, has more than 16 years’ experience in the industry. She led the Scaffolding Association Queensland before its transition into the national SAA and has managed strategy, campaigns, events and communications.
Adshead, who is director of growth and sustainability at Base Industries, has taken on the secretary role in addition to his existing board position. He developed the concept and structure of SAA’s Stop Scaffold Tampering campaign, which has reached thousands of workers and principal contractors nationwide.
The SAA said the appointments add depth to the leadership group as the sector responds to rising regulatory expectations, skills demands and national collaboration efforts.
