Bracknell Roofing has announced the promotion of Freddie Wade to the position of contracts manager at its South East branch in Ringmer, East Sussex.
22-year-old Freddie joined the company three and a half years ago as a trainee contracts manager and has worked his way up after becoming an assistant contracts manager and achieving an Institute of Roofing ‘Management and Technician’ qualification.
