BMI UK & Ireland, the UK’s largest manufacturer of
flat and pitched roofing solutions, is to sponsor a new category in this year’s
UK Roofing Awards.
The category – Young Roofer of the Year – will
recognise the work and contribution made by the nominee in the roofing sector.
BMI
UK & Ireland is proud of its involvement in the awards and, like the NFRC,
it believes in recognising and rewarding roofing talent, especially young
roofers – who are the future lifeblood of the
industry. This is something that BMI invests in heavily through its work
at the BMI National Training Centre, roofing colleges and its Apprentice of the
Year competition.
Anyone can nominate a young roofer and the NFRC and
BMI want you to join them in supporting the future of the sector by nominating
a young roofer that has achieved one of the following:
- Excelled in their
performance in the workplace;
- Worked on a technically
hard / challenging roof or project;
- Gone the extra mile at
work;
- Been awarded additional
responsibility by their employer due to their roofing skills or approach
to work;
- Taken on additional
learning in order to further their career in roofing;
- Demonstrated business
acumen, resulting in increased business being won, or additional revenue
for the business;
- Impacted ways of
working in the roofing sector.
To enter nominees must either be an apprentice,
currently completing a roofing qualification or be a qualified roofer with no
more than three years’ experience. As an additional incentive anyone who makes
a nomination will be entered into a prize draw with the chance of winning £125
of Amazon vouchers.
Entry to the new category is now open and all
nominations must be submitted by March 29th 2019. Submissions
can only be made via the NFRC website: https://www.nfrc.co.uk/uk-roofing-awards/young-roofer-award
The winner will be invited to, and
announced at, the UK Roofing Awards 2019 on May 10th at the InterContinental London – The
O2.
Amanda Brackey, Head of Communications, NFRC, adds:
“We are very excited to add this new category to the UK Roofing Awards, and it
has been a pleasure to work with BMI, the award sponsor, on its launch this
year. It is important for the industry to nurture and support young talent and
this award will help put young roofers in the spotlight.”
