The NAS & IOC
The event stood as a testament to the partnership between the IOC and NAS, demonstrating our joint commitment to developing the next generation of skilled professionals. These regional events serve as platforms for an exchange of knowledge, networking, and fostering a sense of camaraderie within the industry. The collaborative efforts of NAS, CITB, and IOC signify a unified commitment to nurturing a skilled workforce that will shape the future of the timber industry.
A Day in the Life
Throughout his talk, Del shared insights into his personal journey within the trade, highlighting the skills required for success in shopfitting. Del was able to paint a picture of “a day in the life of a shopfitter”, offering a glimpse into the dynamic and multifaceted nature of the profession.
Get involved
Our mission at the NAS is to promote, support and develop. Del Trevillion’s presentation epitomised the spirit of mentorship and knowledge-sharing that lies at the heart of the NAS. Furthermore, it reflected a broader industry-wide dedication to empowering and inspiring the future leaders of the timber trade.
As the series continues its journey across the country, the IOC and NAS actively seek the participation of NAS members.

We’re encouraging NAS members to express their interest in participating in upcoming events. Members involvement promises to not only ignite passion and interest in the trade among aspiring individuals but also support the dedication of industry experts to mentor and guide the next generation.
