When leaving school and being apprehensive on what career route I was going to take, I was offered and took a 5 year apprenticeship with a large roofing company, followed by learning lead works and other various aspects of the roofing trade. Then in 1995 decided to start this company Arrow Roofing.

I guess that would be the variations of projects from small to large, using different types of materials and working with different clients on a daily basis, also working outdoors during the summer months.

I would definitely recommend to start off with a large roofing company and be willing to learn all aspects of the roofing trade and be prepared to work hard.

Yes we have always tried to have a presence online and have always tried to be involved with partnering companies like our FMB/Checkatrade/Best rated roofers and social media sites.

The constant updating of material etc and the ever changing events.

The most important thing to Arrow Roofing was to design a website that could easily be navigated by customers, showing projects/accreditations and showing that we are a small family run business.

The pandemic has raised a lot of difficulties in regards to health and safety for us and all of our customers also in regards to sourcing certain materials due to long lead times.

By working closely with partnering companies like FMB and Checkatrade guidelines in regards to the safety of us and our customers, also being mindful to peoples needs and fears regarding Covid.

This is a tough one as we take care and are proud of all of our tools old and new, I guess it would have to be our cordless tools as this gives us the freedom to navigate around a roof, also no cables/leads to trip over and get in the way.

For the coming year would be firstly to continue to providing a first class service to all of our customers, whatever the scope of the works are small or large. Embarking on new projects, using new materials and working closely with the general public.
