ScaffEx25 is shaping up to be a landmark event for the UK scaffolding industry, with new features, high-profile presenters, and a renewed focus on client engagement.

Clive Dickin, CEO of the NASC, revealed exclusively to Scaffmag that ITV News presenter Nina Hossain and BBC News presenter Sophie Long will host the event, set to take place in Manchester on 11 and 12 September 2025.

Live demonstrations from manufacturers are planned for the exhibition floor, showcasing the latest scaffolding systems and innovations. Attendees will get hands-on insights into new products and techniques, with the aim of promoting safer and more efficient practices across the industry.

A dedicated CISRS zone will allow scaffolders and employers to meet training providers directly, offering guidance on the latest qualifications, apprenticeships, and upskilling opportunities.

An open day will also be held for clients, providing an opportunity to better understand best practices in scaffolding procurement and the importance of hiring NASC-accredited contractors.

In NASC’s 80th year, the conference programme – while taking time to reflect on the organisation’s heritage – will be focused on looking forward with an overarching theme of The Future of Scaffolding. The full programme and speaker line-up is being finalised, but will include recognised names from across the industry as well as one or two surprises to bring fresh perspectives from outside.

In an interview with Scaffmag’s Editor, Clive Dickin also hinted that a future national scaffolding competition, currently under consideration by the NASC, could eventually form part of ScaffEx in the years ahead.

This could, in some parts, mirror other industry competitions across the globe, such as ScaffChamp, offering a platform to showcase the skills and expertise of UK scaffolders in both tube and fitting and system scaffolding disciplines.

Mr Dickin said: “ScaffEx24 was just the start – ScaffEx25 will be a huge step up… We’ve already sold three-quarters of the exhibition space. We are committed to making this event the ultimate meeting place for everyone in scaffolding, from trainees to managing directors and clients alike.”
