This year everyone gets a chance to vote for their favourite project in the NFRC Awards, the annual awards run by the National Federation of Roofing Contractors.
We’re delighted that two of our metals projects are in the 2018 finals, both of which are examples of excellent design and workmanship:
- The Bund (aka The Alchemist) is shortlisted in the Fully Supported Roofing Category, and
- NHS Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary is shortlisted in both Fully Supported Roofing and Large Scale Project.
Both are projects by the specialist roofing contractor and long term collaborator with SIG Zinc and Copper, Longworth Building Services Ltd.

Vote for The Bund (The Alchemist)
This year for the first time the NFRC have invited everyone to vote for their favourite project to receive an Industry Choice Award.
The Bund is in Salford’s Media City right next to the BBC and the Lowry, and frequently features in BBC broadcasts and tweets by people visiting the area. It has become a hugely popular building in the few short months since completion, and is swiftly becoming an icon of the Alchemist Brand and the Salford dockside.
Given the huge reception for the building, its innovative design, the first use in the UK of the beautiful elZinc Rainbow Gold Zinc roofing and cladding and the meticulous execution of the handmade details, we think the Bund is a worthy winner of Industry Choice.
