The winners of this year's NFRC Scottish Roofing Awards have been announced.

The awards, which were hosted by Tam Cowan, took place at The Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow on Friday, October 25 and celebrated the high-quality work of NFRC members across the Scottish region.

The event had a record attendance of around 270, which included contractors, suppliers and merchants.

NFRC President Colin McCorquodale said the awards "play a key part in recognising the work of those actual tradespeople on-site. It is always great to see them attend the awards ceremony".

Included in the winners was Lee Liddington, who scooped the Ronnie Forsyth Scottish Young Roofer of the Year award.

He was recognised for this achievement by the Scottish Parliament, with MSP Carol Mochan stating: "Lee has been recognised for his high level of skill in traditional roof slating, which combines his strong work ethic with technical skills and problem-solving abilities and recognises that his employer, DM Roofing & Roughcasting, in Kilmarnock, is a long-term supporter of roofing apprenticeships, having provided young people in the area with career opportunities for years, whilst promoting the industry as a career of choice to future generations."

The Young Roofer of the Year award is named in honour of Ronnie Forsyth, who passed earlier this year. NFRC was pleased to welcome Ronnie's wife, Ticia, to the award ceremony.

Ronnie was a valued member and friend of NFRC since the inception of NFRC Scotland. During his time with NFRC, Ronnie received the NFRC Pin of Honour, represented NFRC Scotland on many committees and received special recognition for roofing at the NFRC Scotland Roofing Contractor of the Year Awards in 2009, amongst other accolades. He was also Chair of NFRC Scotland from 1988 to 1991.
