UK Roofing Awards 2023 Application Deadline Extended

Construction News Image
The National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) has announced a one-week extension for any firms who wish to enter their projects into the UK Roofing Awards 2023 – the new deadline is Friday 20 January 2023.

This is in response to a very busy period for companies, and requests to extend the deadline to allow as many firms as possible to submit their entries.

Companies who make the shortlist benefit from industry recognition, free marketing and press coverage, and celebration of incredible staff efforts to make projects happen throughout the year.

Who can enter?

The 2023 Awards will consider any roofing, cladding or rainscreen project completed between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2022. They are open to any roofing contractor who are members of NFRC, NFRC Competent Person Scheme (formerly CompetentRoofer) or another listed trade association.

Manufacturers, architects, specifiers and other stakeholders are welcome to submit projects, but they must ensure the roofing contractor who carried out the work is a member of one of the listed trade associations.

How do I attend the Awards?

The UK Roofing Awards is a glittering celebration of industry achievement, once again to be held at the InterContinental London—The O2, on Friday 12 May 2023.

Tickets are now available. Visit roofingawards.co.uk for further information.

NFRC wishes to thank the event’s sponsors: Radmat Building Products, Recticel (UK) Limited, Bauder, Cromar Acrypol, CUPA PIZARRAS S.A., ICB, Marley Ltd, Siderise, SIG Roofing, and Sika Ltd. Without these sponsors, it would be impossible to keep ticket prices for the awards ceremony down, and to ensure as many companies as possible can access the event, despite significant cost increases in the hospitality and events industry over the past couple of years.
