The National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) has announced a series of new regional chair and vice chair appointments as part of a wider expansion of its regional network.
The move follows significant growth in membership, with the organisation reporting a 40% increase in its core membership since 2023.
NASC said the expansion is aimed at strengthening local representation and ensuring members have a stronger voice at regional level. Regional meetings are now attracting more than 100 delegates, reflecting increased engagement across the industry.
The trade body said its regional structure plays a central role in shaping guidance, policy and best practice, alongside the Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme (CISRS).

The latest appointments include:
- London and South-East Chair: David Evans (MR Scaffolding)
Vice Chair: Martin George (CCS Scaffolding) - West Midlands Chair: Steve Fellows (Malvern Scaffolding)
Vice Chair: Sam McSpadden (Phoenix Group) - East Midlands Vice Chair: Jay Love (Access 2)
- North-East Vice Chair: Luis McCarthy (JMAC Industrial and Access Group)
- North-West Chair: Roy Rodgers (Enigma Industrial Services)
Vice Chair: Kyle Whittle (KW Scaffolding) - Wales Chair: David Anderson (Allen and Foxworthy)
Vice Chair: Kate Thomson (Thomson Scaffolding) - Ireland Chair: Robert Andrews (Advanced NI Scaffolding)
They join existing regional leaders, including East Midlands Chair Lisa Rooney, North-East Chair Darren Maratty, South-West Chair Dave Battison, and Scotland Chair Ronnie Charters.
NASC also confirmed that Michael Lloyd of LTC Scaffolding has stepped down as South-East regional chair after eight years in the role.
Industry voice
Clive Dickin, chief executive of NASC and CISRS, said regional representatives remain central to how the organisation supports its members.
He said: “Our regions are at the heart of NASC and what it does and the regional chairs and vice chairs are fundamental to how we serve members on the ground.
“They are the connection between NASC and the businesses and people that make up our membership, and I am delighted to welcome this new group into their roles.”
NASC said members can attend regional meetings through its events calendar, with sessions continuing to focus on knowledge sharing, industry input and collaboration.
