Josh Morrison Wins Local Roofing Hero Award 2024

BLACKPOOL ROOFER Josh Morrison from JR Roofing Lancs Ltd., has won a special category, the ‘Local Hero Award’, at the National Federation of Roofing Contractors’ (NFRC) annual awards.

The category, sponsored by SIG Roofing since its conception, encourages nominations from the roofing community and looks for individuals who have made an impact in their local areas.

Local Roofing Hero

Josh’s act of kindness towards a local customer who suffered a poor roof repair that he rectified at no cost despite extensive damage, highlights his unwavering commitment to community support and assisting those in need.

Josh also donated Easter eggs to The Boathouse Youth and led a team in a Dragon Boat Race to raise funds for the Blue Skies Hospital Fund.

Josh is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of roofers through training and support, regularly visiting the Skill Construction Centre in Kirkham, where he shares his valuable insights on slate roofing and leadwork.
