Graham Maddocks, a well known and hugely respected industry figure has sadly died aged 70.

Mr Maddocks was a champion of the access industry who was dedicated to improving standards, working methods and safety. He worked as Chief Engineer at SGB before transferring to Harsco Infrastructure after it acquired the business.

Mr Maddocks served for many years on the technical committee of the National Association of Scaffolding Contractors (NASC) and various British Standards Institution (BSl) technical and drafting committees. He was a much respected chairman of several of these committees.

According to a memorial posted online by PASMA, During his career he mentored a great many scaffolding and formwork engineers, a role he found extremely rewarding and one that gave him particular pleasure. Graham would consistently make himself available, often at short notice, to help and advise anyone who needed support, guidance and information.
