The National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) has crowned the victorious contestants of its Scottish Roofing Awards 2024, celebrating all roofing disciplines undertaken by its members.
The Scottish Parliament has also recognised the awards, with MSP Carol Mochan congratulating Lee Liddington for winning the Ronnie Forsyth Scottish Young Roofer of the Year award.
She said: “Lee has been recognised for his high level of skill in traditional roof slating, which combines his strong work ethic with technical skills and problem-solving abilities, and recognises that his employer, DM Roofing & Roughcasting, in Kilmarnock, is a long-term supporter of roofing apprenticeships, having provided young people in the area with career opportunities for years, whilst promoting the industry as a career of choice to future generations.”
The Young Roofer of the Year award is named in honour of Ronnie Forsyth, who passed earlier this year. NFRC was pleased to welcome Ronnie’s wife, Ticia, to the award ceremony. Ronnie was a valued member and friend of NFRC since the inception of NFRC Scotland.
During his time with NFRC, Ronnie received the NFRC Pin of Honour, represented NFRC Scotland on many committees, and received special recognition for roofing at the NFRC Scotland Roofing Contractor of the Year Awards in 2009, amongst other accolades. He was also chair of NFRC Scotland from 1988 to 1991.
