ScaffEx25 registrations surge as NASC targets record-breaking turnout

Registrations for ScaffEx25, the global scaffolding and access industry’s largest dedicated exhibition and conference, are off to a “flying start”, according to organisers.

The event, hosted by the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC), will take place at Manchester Central on 11–12 September. Early registration numbers have already surpassed total attendance at last year’s event in Belfast.

Nearly 1,000 industry professionals have signed up so far, a figure NASC CEO Clive Dickin called “encouraging”, especially given that the marketing campaign has only just begun.

“I’ve been delighted with the response so far,” he said. “But we’d like to see more of the industry taking part. We want everyone there.”

To help boost sign-ups, NASC is launching a competition to win an iPhone 16. Anyone registering before 25 July will be automatically entered, including those who have already signed up.

Bigger stands, bigger ambitions

Organisers say the switch to Manchester Central has enabled exhibitors to expand significantly on their 2024 displays. Many of the sector’s leading suppliers are taking larger stands and planning more elaborate showcases.

“Because the space is so much bigger at Manchester Central than we had last year, the major suppliers have been able to really bring out all their big toys,” said Dickin. “Some of the early designs I’ve seen suggest that the final stands are going to be really impressive.”

Demo Zone proves a hit

Another key feature generating early excitement is the new live Demo Zone, which gives suppliers a chance to demonstrate products and innovations in action. All available slots were fully booked within hours of being released.

ScaffEx25 is expected to attract scaffolding contractors, manufacturers, safety experts and stakeholders from across the UK and beyond. The event will feature product showcases, networking opportunities, and sessions on training, innovation, and industry standards.
