Overview

I started working in the roofing industry at the age of 14 helping my father on a weekend, which eventually went on to fulltime work when I left school. This is where I learned the fundamentals of roofing – hard work, organisation and good customer service. At the age of 20, I then got the opportunity to work for a large, reputable roofing company who were based in the local area. During this time I have went on to gain valuable skills and experience, due to the vast variety of projects I have worked on. These have ranged from Council Housing Re-roofing up to Grade 1 Listed Buildings.

Achievements

I have competed in many roofing competitions during my career. The most prestigious being when I qualified for the SkillBuild National Final held at the NEC in Birmingham – where I represented the North East of England. Although I didn’t go on to win the competition, it was a great experience to be a part of.
