Hello all,
The scaffolding firm i'm working for is finding that an increasing amount of companies are asking for scaffolders who are only NASC members. Our major downfall is that our scaffolders are all sub-contractors (approx 50men) and we can see no foreseeable way of taking on the required percentage on the books without severe financial problems. Luckily a number of our key clients have looked and found the idea unplausible due to the nature of our work (house building) but we are still being urged by some.
We have successfuly won ROSPA awards, and become members of SMAS etc. and feel confident we would pass NASC's strict membership criteria apart from this one item.
Do people have any views or are having similar problems?
