With time and work pressures, we all know how easy it is to get
caught up in the cycle of ticking off the ‘to-do list’ and going from
one job to the next.
For roofing and cladding operatives in particular, justifying time away
from jobs can be difficult but sometimes it’s important to stop and take
stock, see what’s new in your sector and perhaps learn about the latest
developments that will assist you as an individual or business going
forward.
That’s why, alongside the NFRC, we’ve brought together the leading
manufacturers and suppliers of roofing, cladding, and associated
products and materials for one-day only at Old Trafford football club,
Manchester, on 2nd October 2019. At Contractor’s Day – sponsored by
Quantum Insulation – you’ll be able to get up close to the latest
launches, pick the brains of technical experts, network with likeminded
individuals, and listen to and take part in seminars and
debates on the key issues affecting the roofing and cladding sectors.
Above: Read about the Eden, Marley’s new traditional pantile, which
incorporates modern fixing methods for quicker and easier installation on p44.
