Bauder Workshop Helps Trainees Access Potential New Roofing Career

HELPING TRAINEES to access a potential new roofing career, waterproofing and insulation systems manufacturer, Bauder recently conducted a two-day workshop that invited participants to learn essential roofing skills.

The roofing bootcamp workshop was offered in partnership with L&Q Group, a house builder and landlord association. Bauder supplies L&Q Group under its Major Works Investment Programme. L&Q arranged the workshop for its resident community, advertising it using leaflets and social media to attract participants from all over London.

The workshop demonstrates Bauder’s commitment to helping the local community by sharing knowledge and providing hands-on experience. For L&Q, it supported their mission to promote skill development and create paid job opportunities.

Participants had the chance to learn from skilled roofing professionals and gain insights into top roofing techniques, further enhancing their career prospects.

Rewarding Bootcamp

Tom Pugh, Regional Business Manager at Bauder, said: “It was a thoroughly rewarding two days for all involved and the learners were great. We will be planning another bootcamp at the end of January or early February.”

Two of the trainees have now been offered permanent employment with Bauder’s approved contractor, London Felt Roofing, which is also part of Major Works Investment Programme partner, Durkan’s supply chain.

Mark Newstead, Director of Major Programmes at L&Q, said: “We’re excited about the positive impact this partnership with Bauder will have on our Major Works projects and the opportunities it will bring to us and the communities we serve. We look forward to exploring more ways they can support our values. Their dedication to improving homes will help ensure we deliver better, living environments for our residents.”

L&Q’s Major Works Investment Programme will see the housing organisation invest around £3bn over 15 years to improve residents’ homes. Additionally, the programme is delivered alongside social value commitments to create a lasting impact in the communities where it operates.
