NSW provides an opportunity to highlight some of the achievements of the organisations and individuals operating within the scaffolding sector and showcase best practice and innovation. Over the coming months we will be revealing some of the exciting ways you can get involved with NSW. We will be launching our campaign to find the heroes of the scaffolding sector and we need your help to find them. Perhaps you know someone who has helped raise money for charity through their scaffolding business or they've been instrumental in training and introducing new talent to the industry, whatever the story behind the inspirational person/people, we want to hear it!

Worth over £2.86bn to the UK economy annually, and with over 6,000 scaffolding companies operating in the UK alone, the scaffolding sector offers real opportunities for progression. Whether you're a career-changer looking to shake things up or a school-leaver looking for your first step on the career ladder - there's a role for you in scaffolding. Over NSW we will be sharing job roles, salaries, real-life stories and on-the-job perspectives from those already in the industry.
