SIG Roofing is congratulating Andy Gregory and Colin Freeman from SIG Roofing branches in Bournemouth and Coventry, who are the first to have successfully completed the SIG Roofing Operations Academy programme, endorsed by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport CILT (UK) .

The SIG Roofing Ops Academy is designed to sharpen skills, boost confidence, and prepare colleagues to thrive within their operations team.  Covering key topics such as Health & Safety, Warehouse Excellence, and Compliance, and offering access to a wide range of product training, the programme helps build strong foundations for success across the operations part of the business.

Chris Lodge, Managing Director of SIG Roofing

Chris Lodge, Managing Director at SIG Roofing, said: “I’m really grateful the CILT partnered with us to work through this programme. It’s important for those who go through the training that they have something that’s independently verified and can then continue to use that certificate wherever their careers take them.”

Ops Academy

The Ops academy, which uses a digital course format, was initially run as a pilot for 30 members of staff and forms part of a larger training academy at SIG Roofing, supporting colleagues across numerous disciplines. The Ops Academy sits alongside our Sales and Leadership Academies as part of our ongoing commitment to developing our people and supporting colleagues across every discipline. SIG Roofing’s focus on staff training began in earnest two years ago when they launched a Sales Academy for the business.

“We are very proud to be involved in endorsing the SIG Roofing Ops Academy” said Julia O’Hela, membership manager at CITL(UK). “A huge well done to both Andy and Colin for leading the way. Your hard work sets the standard for what’s to come as more of your colleagues progress through the programme. I’d also like to mention other SIG Roofing branch colleagues who have subsequently completed the training. Darren Prior (Middlesborough), Ryan Cook (Bolton), Simon Stanyard (Grimsby), Paul Evans (Kings Lynn), and Simon Williams (Slough), a truly great effort has been put in by all to hone your skills and help SIG Roofing offer an increasingly efficient service for their customers.”
