The Scaffolding Association has confirmed that Mark Parkin has stepped down from his position as Strategic Director.
In a statement to Scaffmag, the Association said: “We can confirm that Mark Parkin has recently left his role with the Scaffolding Association.
The Association is currently considering the future of the post previously held by Mark, and it would not be appropriate for us to comment any further at this stage. We thank Mark for his support of the Association during his tenure and wish him well for the future.”
Parkin joined the Association in March 2025, bringing more than 35 years of experience across scaffolding operations, management, and industry leadership. His appointment was seen as a key part of the organisation’s plan to strengthen member engagement, raise safety standards, and promote the sector’s professional image.
Before joining the Scaffolding Association, Parkin held a range of senior roles within the scaffolding industry, including managing director, CEO, and operations director positions.
The Association has not yet announced whether it intends to appoint a successor.
