Following NASC’s first-ever virtual Annual General Meeting in 2020 where Harry Redknapp and Build UK Chief Executive Suzannah Nichol MBE featured as special guests the scaffolding trade body will this year be back in full swing with a live-in person event.

Hundreds of guests from some of the largest specialist scaffolding contractors in the country will be attending the meeting that will be held at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport on Friday 19 November.

The NASC has announced that its keynote speech will this year be delivered by Dame Sarah Storey, the most decorated British Paralympian of all time, having amassed a collection of 28 medals, including 17 golds, across a range of swimming and cycling events.

The AGM will also feature short presentations from NASC’s MD Robin James and NASC’s President Lynn Way. The event will also feature Anne Pavey from the Department for Work and Pensions, who will speak about the NASC’s Kickstart Scheme Gateway.

An overview of entries shortlisted for the NASC’s Awards will also be delivered. The winners are set to be announced at the Annual Ball & Awards in the evening at the same venue.
