Expert roofing specialists Select Roofing have been honoured as being among the best in the business, by taking a major prize at the annual TeamKal/Kalzip awards ceremony.

Select Roofing was named as the Best New Contractor in Ireland and the UK, in recognition of outstanding work completed on projects including:

• Mounthawk Secondary School, Tralee, Co. Kerry
• Stryker Innovations, Carrigtwohill, Co. Cork
• Babcock House, Crawley, West Sussex
• Northwood Education Campus, London

Meeting the challenges of such a diverse portfolio of work enabled Select Roofing to take the award, in the face of strong competition from other nominees.

The TeamKal awards reward the companies and projects that the judges feel have excelled most in their field. The unique partnership between TeamKal and Kalzip puts contractors at the forefront of the industry and recognises each for technical excellence, quality products, installation, and best practice.

The award came as Select Roofing continued to enjoy a period of great growth and success, as it was also the winner of an Icopal award for ‘Best Roof of the Year’ in Ireland.

It was presented at the annual Kalzip Conference, held at the Carden Park Hotel in Cheshire, where delegates also heard about developments in the industry and where Kalzip were celebrating the installation of an incredible 100 million square metres of roofing worldwide.

Select Roofing’s Managing Director, John Kinsella, expressed the firm’s delight at being so honoured, and thanked everybody responsible.

‘We are delighted to receive this award in recognition of the quality of our work and our dedication to excellence,’ he said.

‘Also, we are very grateful for the co-operation and partnership we have enjoyed with Kalzip to date, especially with the technical support we have had from both John McAllister, Donna Mac and Andrew Stewart. We look forward to continuing our partnership and to doing so equally successfully in each year going forward.’
