Preparations are well under way for the UK IFD team to compete in this years’ international championship taking place in Innsbruck, Austria from the 13 to 15 November. A replica rig has now been constructed at The Centre of Roofing Excellence (CoRE) in Hereford. Four training sessions have been scheduled where the UK Team Joe Gallagher from I H Gallagher Ltd and Tyler Norris from Karl Terry Roofing Contractors Ltd will replicate the competition tasks under the guidance of mentors Andy Rowlands, Bob Coutts and Matt Timby.
