KAS Scaffolding Directors to speak at NASC ScaffEx26!

At KAS Scaffolding, we are always looking for ways to share our journey and give back to the industry that has given us so much. That is why we are incredibly proud to announce that our directors, Adam Millgate and Shane Wood, will be taking the stage to speak at the upcoming NASC ScaffEx26.

Taking place on 10–11 September 2026 at the Manchester Central Convention Complex, ScaffEx26 is widely recognised as the world's biggest scaffolding and access industry event.

What to Expect at ScaffEx26

Organised by the National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC), ScaffEx26 brings together an exhibition, a conference, and the Scaffolding Excellence Awards all under one roof.

For those attending the event, you can expect:

• A massive exhibition hall featuring top suppliers and service providers from across the UK.

• An engaging conference bringing together thought leaders and experts to discuss safety, workforce skills, and business success.

• Live product demonstrations and a dedicated Safety Area.

Taking the Stage: "What nobody tells you about starting your own scaffolding firm"

Adam and Shane will be stepping up to the microphone on Thursday to deliver their featured presentation, "What nobody tells you about starting your own scaffolding firm".

Building KAS Scaffolding from the ground up has been a journey filled with long hours, complex logistical challenges, and immense rewards. In their session, scheduled from 12.45pm to 1.30pm, Adam and Shane will be pulling back the curtain on the realities of business ownership in the scaffolding sector.

They will be discussing topics including:

• The hidden challenges of transitioning from being on the tools to running the operational side of the business.

• Why building a non-negotiable culture of safety and compliance is your biggest commercial asset.

• The importance of surrounding yourself with the right team and leaning on strong industry networks.

• Real, unfiltered lessons learned during the early days of establishing KAS Scaffolding.

Whether you are a new business owner, an aspiring entrepreneur, or just curious about what it takes to scale a scaffolding operation in today's competitive market, this is a session you won't want to miss.

See You in Manchester!

We are thrilled to be part of an event that celebrates outstanding achievements and actively moves the scaffolding profession forward.
