Down here in Cornwall listed in yellow pages there are 35.

I would say that there are probably at least 5-10 one man bands.

So we will call it 40.

At present only four are NASC members!

So we are no where near 70% NASC scaffolders.

Lets see what you all come up with!

I don't really see the point you are trying to make, but I would say that well over 70% of the scaffolding industry's annual turnover is generated from NASC memebrs.
 
With those stats phil,are you saying 10% have 70% of the business? Doesnt seem to add up to me.
 
Just thinking ,if all the companies in England joined nasc, would they be better off????

Well some companies just don't want to put anything back into the industry that they're involved in, so it wouldn't happen.

But if it were to happen hypothetically then you'd still have good firms and bad firms - Just like you already have in the NASC membership.

Trouble is, the decent firms would find it even harder to compete against the w*nkers we all moan about, so standards would slip even further within the industry.

No pun intended.

I was up for a bit of debate here Phil,you seem to supprt nasc but their membership criteria seems a bit flawd if dodgy companies can join. not focusing tonight and my team chelsea are playing. Perhaps another time mate.
 
I know several companies in NASC which are absolutely shocking!
 
Yeah I'm not supporting anyone mate.

I'm just telling it how it is.

Interested in how many firms are out there. Last count I heard was 4-5000.

I would think there is more.

SF can help to get the current figure!!

But that's only on Yell.com, some firms won't have the money to stick ad's on there.

Aren't you the posh one.

Are you saying that if you don't work for one of the few NASC companies then you won't take pride in your work and won't be working on prestigious projects?

DSL make up a large percentage of the NASC as with all the nationals each depot is a separate member, they will not let you use an impact wrench.
