UK Roofing Awards finalists announced at Ecobuild

The finalists for the 2018 UK Roofing Awards have been announced. Beautiful structures, outstanding workmanship, superior problem solving, environmental qualities and contribution to the built environment have all been highlighted in the shortlist, released by NFRC (National Federation of Roofing Contractors) at this year’s ecobuild event.

The awards scheme, which is in its 12th consecutive year, is the most prestigious in the roofing sector and celebrates the very best in the industry across 14 categories.

Ecobuild show attendees also had the opportunity to cast their vote for the Industry Choice Award (sponsored by Radmat Building Products Ltd).

James Talman, chief executive at NFRC said: “This year the standard of entries was exceptional and the judges had a very hard time whittling it down to create this spectacular shortlist.

“Our congratulations go to each and every one of those finalists who should be proud of their achievement. We have some extremely talented, dedicated and ambitious roofing professionals in the UK and this goes some way towards highlighting their achievements and showcasing best practice and quality in the sector.

“We would like to wish everyone the very best of luck for the finals.”

Winners will be announced at a gala awards luncheon on Friday 11th May 2018 at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge hotel.

The event will be hosted by Dan Walker.
