The National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) has opened a new office in Edinburgh and appointed a dedicated Business Development Manager to strengthen its presence across Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Lloyd McKenzie takes up the newly created role, bringing with him decades of experience as a CISRS Advanced Scaffolder, scaffolding manager, and technical authority. His appointment marks a significant step in NASC’s efforts to support scaffolding businesses and grow its membership in the region.

Clive Dickin, Chief Executive of NASC, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Lloyd to the team. We’re committed to growing and developing our presence in Scotland, which remains a vital region for us and scaffolding in the UK.

“This is also why we have opened an office in Edinburgh. The arrival of Lloyd is a further boost to our plans for the north and for Scotland and Northern Ireland. He brings experience from his time working as a scaffolder, as well as a deep knowledge of the sector in Scotland, which is unique among UK regions.

We look forward to tapping into his experience in sectors like energy, offshore, and renewables.”

The creation of a new Scottish base follows increased demand from scaffolding companies for localised support and representation. NASC hopes the move will help build closer relationships with firms across Scotland and Northern Ireland and promote industry standards.

Speaking about his new role, Lloyd McKenzie said:

“This is such a great opportunity for me to give something back to an industry that I am passionate about. I am, first and foremost, a scaffolder, and that won’t ever change.

“NASC is an important part of the UK and global scaffolding and access sector, and I look forward to helping to develop NASC across Scotland and in Northern Ireland. The message today is that NASC North is open, and we are ready to support the industry.”

The Edinburgh office is now open and will act as a regional hub for NASC activity in the north.
