Avonside Showcase at

Forces in Construction

Insight Day

WEDNESDAY 10TH OCTOBER WAS A BUSY
DAY FOR AVONSIDE BEING OUT AND ABOUT
WITH OUR SHEQ MANAGER, SARAH BURKE
AND NORTHERN ROOFING QUALITY
INSPECTOR, DANIEL WOOD ATTENDING A
FORCES IN CONSTRUCTION INSIGHT DAY AT
COLEG CAMBRIA COLLEGE IN NORTH WALES.
—
Helping to promote roofing career
opportunities to former Forces personnel, the
pair thoroughly enjoyed working with Alastair
Blant from Redland BMI at the roofing rig that
was set up by the Avonside stand as Alastair
demonstrated slating and tiling to potential job
applicants. Sarah even tried her hand at liquid
applied roofing and slating! [pictured bottom left

Avonside were proud to have a stand
alongside the likes of CITB, North West Roof
Training Group, The Ministry of Defence and
The NFRC amongst others, as professionals
provided interested former Services personnel
with information about the opportunities that
roofing, construction and civil engineering
careers can bring. Our current job vacancies
were projected onto the Avonside stand, which
never saw a dull moment throughout the
interactive showcase event!
At a time when the roofing industry is
facing large-scale skills-shortages, the event,
organised by the CITB in association with Kier
Group and CTP, couldn’t have been better
timed.
Many industry professionals appreciate
how the positive attitude, experience and
discipline of former Service personnel can stand
them in good stead for a fulfilling and rewarding
career in roofing.
