NFRC Scotland Delivers Dunbar Roofing Skills Demonstration

On Saturday 25 April, NFRC Scotland Member businesses helped to deliver slating and lead craft skills demonstrations during the Dunbar Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme programme.

Lewis Miller, Company Director at Compass Roofing Ltd, ran an interactive slating stand where members of the public were taught to cut their own slate. Lewis, who helped to lead the pioneering National 5 qualification in creative industries roof slating last year, was supported on the stand by NFRC Scotland Regional Manager John McKinney. Slates for the demonstration were generously donated by SSQ.

Alongside the slate cutting, Stephen Higgins of Edinburgh Leadcraft Ltd showcased lead roofing and some of the artisan creations that can be made with the material.

If you have any interest in participating in skills demonstrations like this one, reach out to your regional manager.
