At the Heart of Roofing
National Federation Roofing Contractors

The National Federation of Roofing Contractors Limited

The Roofing Awards have now entered their seventh year. Formerly the NFRC Awards, they have become an industry-wide competition that recognise and reward outstanding standards of workmanship and safety within the roofing industry.

The competition, covering the full spectrum of roofing disciplines, runs from September to January every year thereafter a selection of projects are short-listed. In May, at the Roofing Awards Congress, the winners are announced along with other award winners.

The Congress itself is made up of two parts: the Awards Lunch and the Evening Dinner Dance. The Awards commence with a champagne drinks reception (which has become an excellent networking opportunity); then a three course lunch and is followed by the Awards Ceremony. As well as the Roofing Award winners, prizes are also given in Health & Safety, Training and Youth competitions.

In the evening the Dinner Dance takes place. This begins with a drinks reception and then a four course meal and this is followed by entertainment and a charity raffle and finishes off with dancing into the early hours.

The winners of the 2012 Roofing Awards were announced on Friday18th May at the Roofing Awards Annual Congress Lunch at the Hilton Metropole in Birmingham.
