Chris Salmon, chairman of the FTMRC, added: “As the world’s largest traditional metal roofing federation, our members are operating in a rapidly developing market, and we need to adapt and keep pace with emerging technologies and systems. We are excited to have Tim onboard to strengthen our team and help drive us forward.”
