Managing Director of West Bromwich-based Star Scaffolding, Mark Chard, has been shortlisted for the prestigious Business Person of the Year award at the 2025 Express & Star Business Awards.

The award recognises outstanding leadership and impact in the region’s business community. Mr Chard is being celebrated for his transformative leadership at Star Scaffolding, a firm now recognised as a trusted partner in the construction sector.

Under his guidance, the West Bromwich-based company has achieved Tier 1 Construction status and gained leading industry accreditations, including membership in the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC), Veriforce CHAS, Constructionline Gold, and ISO 9001 certification.

But it is Chard’s broader contribution that has garnered admiration. Known for his “simple, honest and safety-first approach,” he has not only steered Star to commercial success, but also fostered a culture of mentorship and community engagement.

“He builds more than scaffolding,” a company spokesperson said. “He builds people, opportunity and pride in where we come from.”

Mr Chard is known for championing apprenticeships, supporting young entrepreneurs, and advocating best practices across the scaffolding industry.

The winners of this year’s Express & Star Business Awards will be announced at a ceremony held at the University of Wolverhampton at The Halls on Thursday 5 June.

A full list of finalists can be viewed here.
