HAS YOUR PROJECT GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN A UK ROOFING AWARD?
The UK Roofing Awards return to
InterContinental London – The O2,
on Friday 12 May 2023, and NFRC
is now welcoming entries from across
the roofing and cladding industry.
Can I enter?
Entries are now open, with submissions
welcome from members of NFRC, NFRC
Competent Person Scheme (formerly
CompetentRoofer), and selected other
trade associations. Uniquely this time,
NFRC is accepting entries for projects
that were completed within a two-year
window between 1 January 2021 and
31 December 2022.
The deadline to submit your project is Friday 13
January 2023. Whilst many entries are made by
contractors, submissions from manufacturers,
architects and specifiers are also encouraged and
welcomed, as long as the roofing contractor on
the project is a member of one of the qualifying
trade associations.

Waterproofing

NFRC says entrants should include highresolution

progress and when complete, to give the judges
the best possible understanding of your project.
More information on each category is available at
roofingawards.co.uk.
NFRC says the Awards recognise and reward
outstanding standards of workmanship and
health and safety among competent roofing
companies, and winning or being shortlisted at
the UK Roofing Awards means that your team is
recognised for their great work and your company
raises its profile across the industry, as well as
receiving free PR in industry newsletters and
publications.
Can I attend?
You can now purchase tickets for the
2023 UK Roofing Awards.
NFRC Members can obtain tickets for
£195 per seat – or it’s even better
value when purchasing a whole table
of ten seats, at £1,750.
Non-Members are also
very welcome, with
tickets at £250 per
seat, or a whole table
for £2,150.
NFRC says it would like
to thank the event’s
sponsors: Radmat Building Products (headline
sponsor), Bauder, BMI, CUPA PIZARRAS S.A.,
ICB, Marley, Recticel Insulation, Siderise, SIG,
and Sika.
James Talman, NFRC CEO, explained: “I am
delighted that the UK Roofing Awards will be back
in 2023 after a hugely successful Awards last
November. Once again I am looking forward to
this major opportunity to celebrate excellent
workmanship, innovation, and safe practices in
our industry.
“We decided not to run a 2022 event in order to
run the 2023 Awards in May, returning to the pre-
Covid timing of the event – it would have been
too soon after November’s event to go ahead in
May 2022. It takes time to prepare an event on
this scale and to such a high standard.”
Robert Speroni, Managing Director of headline
sponsor Radmat Building Products, said:
“Radmat Building Products is delighted to be the
headline sponsor of the UK Roofing Awards once
again for 2023 – we were very pleased to be
associated with the 2021 event, the largest
Roofing Awards yet. We are looking forward to the
2023 Awards, which will be another great chance
to celebrate the very best work in our industry.”
