Scaffold erectors in Yell

Hi ragscaff

I did a search for scaffold erectors in UK on Yell and it comes up with 3184.

Probably a few more than that as probably not all listed in Yell.

If there are only 200 in the NASC that is 6.3%. Not what one would call representative of the majority.

Thanks for an interesting start on a thread

so judging by the sums nasc cannot be the voice of the industry.

NASC was run by people from the bigger companies, the men in suits, it can never be the voice. follow the money..

Just Googled "scaffold erectors UK" 161,000 hits

and "Scaffold Companies UK" 589,000 hits

I know these figures are only hits,many will be duplicated,but when you run through the pages there are many outfits touting for work

 

[ragscaff]

Then that is our target, to get 300 member companies as well as member scaffolders which I think 2000 is achievable & take on the NASC.

True voice run by its members!!!

There are 12K registered scaffolders working for those 200 companies. so approximately 40% of the UK total scaffolding workforce are represented by the NASC.
