Wasn't Ray Chandler a London Scaffolder, who was a trainer at the CITB in Erith back in the early 2000's?
If its the same guy, he went on to become a Safety Inspector for TRAD Scaffolding... Not sure what happened to him though.


Darrly Venn from Stamford Le Hope was a fukking pukka Scaffolder, back in the day.
He taught me alot about Scaffolding.
 
Ray was my tutor at Erith , that was along time ago
