What happened
SIG Roofing has appointed Daisy Gee as Office Administration Manager to serve as the central contact for the company's solar and flat roofing training activities. Her role, based at SIG Roofing’s Cambridgeshire head office, is to coordinate a broadening schedule of solar training and to introduce an updated registration system. According to SIG Roofing, this new system aims to make it easier for contractors to access a range of training modules provided by the company.
She will be working with the company’s eight solar business development managers and supporting over 100 branches across the UK that stock and sell solar products. Additionally, Gee will collaborate with Adam French, SIG Roofing’s Solar Training & Technical Support Specialist, to further develop the company's technical training offer.
The background
SIG Roofing has supplied solar products for more than ten years. The company states that as market demand for solar technology increases, it has expanded its specialist solar team to enhance support for customers and drive adoption. The team provides both introductory training sessions for contractors new to solar and specialist modules tailored to installer requirements.
Each SIG Roofing branch now offers solar solutions for both residential and commercial projects. These include in-roof and on-roof solar mounting systems, inverters, fixings, and associated mounting accessories. Products are sourced from manufacturers such as GSE, Marley, and Sandtoft. The company provides branded solutions and technical guidance to help contractors choose appropriate products for their projects.
SIG Roofing also offers a free solar design service. This service provides contractors with roof layout plans and guidance on system connection options. To further support contractor customers, SIG is rolling out a programme to ensure each branch has a designated solar champion, whose role is to help contractors integrate solar solutions into their offerings.
What people are saying
The company claims demand for solar solutions is rising. It says that growing interest from both residential and commercial property owners has led to increasing demand for training and technical support among roofing contractors. According to SIG Roofing, the investment in specialist staff and training resources is intended to ensure contractors are equipped to meet this demand.
Adam French, Solar Training & Technical Support Specialist, works alongside Daisy Gee to deliver the training. According to SIG Roofing, the sessions include both 'introduction to solar' modules and more detailed, role-specific instruction.
The company is also preparing to launch a flat roofing training programme in 2027, which will cover its FIX-R range of roofing products. Daisy Gee will contribute to the design and coordination of this training offer as part of her new role.
What happens next
Contractors interested in solar training offered by SIG Roofing can register through the new central contact. The solar training programme includes both introductory and in-depth modules, available via SIG's training channels. The launch of the new registration system is intended to simplify the process for contractors wishing to enrol.
SIG Roofing plans to continue expanding its training resources in response to ongoing demand for solar installations. The training is intended to equip contractors with the technical knowledge to supply and fit products offered by SIG, including solar mounting systems and fixings.
A further training offer, focusing on flat roofing and the FIX-R product range, is scheduled for development in 2027. Daisy Gee will be involved in developing and delivering this programme alongside her solar training responsibilities.
