Sarah Klieve has taken over as NASC president as the trade body introduces a new 10-region structure intended to bring members closer to its work across the UK.
Klieve, business director at High Peak Scaffolding, succeeded IBN Scaffolding’s David Brown at the joint NASC and CISRS Annual General Meeting in Solihull.
The meeting, attended by almost 100 full NASC members, also confirmed two appointments to the NASC board. Lee Rowswell, group director at GKR Scaffolding, and Steve Fellows, managing director of Malvern Scaffolding, have joined the board.
New regional model
NASC said its new regional structure will divide the UK into 10 locally focused areas.
The body said the model is intended to improve contact with members, create more opportunities for collaboration and give regional priorities a stronger route into the organisation.
Further detail on the regions, including their boundaries, representatives and planned activity, has yet to be published.
Council changes
The AGM also recognised the departure of long-standing NASC Council members Mike Lloyd and James Attridge.
NASC Group CEO Clive Dickin said the meeting showed the organisation was in a strong position to continue supporting members and raising standards across the sector.
He said NASC was growing its membership and commercial presence, while continuing to invest in CISRS to meet the needs of employers and trainees.
Klieve takes on the presidency as NASC and CISRS continue work around training, safety and workforce development, with member engagement expected to be a central focus for the rest of 2026.
