BBC Breakfast was on air from Manchester this morning as the broadcaster joined the second day of ScaffEx25, the UK’s largest scaffolding and access industry event.

The programme featured live segments from the exhibition floor at Manchester Central, where hundreds of delegates and dozens of exhibitors gathered yesterday to showcase the latest products, technology, and training in the sector.

Organised by the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC), ScaffEx25 has drawn companies and industry leaders from across the UK and overseas. The two-day event includes a packed conference programme, live demonstrations, and a major awards evening.

Coverage on BBC Breakfast focused on the industry’s skills crisis and the importance of scaffolding to the UK economy. Reports highlighted that up to 40,000 new scaffolders are needed each year to meet demand, with employers and training providers working to attract more people into the trade through apprenticeships and entry-level programmes.

Clive Dickin, Chief Executive of the NASC, said ScaffEx25 provided the perfect platform for these conversations.
