With a career spanning more than 15 years in the careers industry, the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) has appointed Ruth Scarrott as head of careers.

In this new role, Ruth will work in collaboration with stakeholders across the roofing sector to attract new talent and deliver a clear message that roofing is open for all.

The appointment comes just as the NFRC’s State of the Roofing Industry Survey for Q2 of 2021 has reported that 76% of roofing contractors are reporting recruitment difficulties, and skill shortages are becoming systemic.

Speaking about her appointment and plans for NFRC’s careers agenda, Ruth said: “As a passionate advocate for improving life chances for everyone, especially disadvantaged groups, I have a good understanding of what the NFRC wants to achieve, and I am looking forward to dedicating my knowledge and experience to delivering these aims.”

She added: “I am particularly interested in the part that new talent can play in revitalising organisational culture, and I am keen to outline our intention to attract new people into the sector and to deliver timely and informative messaging to members and wider stakeholders on NFRC’s commitment to careers.
