Danny Meadows Appointed National Liquid Manager for AccuRoof
Accuroof, part of SIG Roofing, has appointed Danny Meadows to a new role within the business. He has been promoted to National Liquid Category Manager, leading the growing demand for Liquid Roofing Systems.
Danny has worked in liquid-applied roofing for 20 years. He started ‘on the tools’ or ‘on the roller’, as he refers to it, in 2006, and completed an NVQ in Liquid Applied Waterproofing in 2007. He worked as a roofing contractor until he joined AccuRoof (then SIG Design & Technology) in 2014 as a senior field technician. This marked a shift for the business towards liquid roofing, which had previously focused on single ply.
The years spent working as a contractor provided a solid foundation for his focus at AccuRoof, where for the past 12 years he has provided technical field support, specification assistance, and training on a range of liquid roofing systems for both customers and the SIG Roofing branch staff.
AccuRoof allows access to its specialist roofing products once the contractor has completed adequate training, and, for liquid roofing, that training is assessed by Danny. The contractor is assessed not only on training but also on the first few liquid projects, giving them the required skills and confidence to install. This ensures that the roof complies with building regulations, and that the product warranty can be issued by AccuRoof for each completed project. It is all part of the AccuRoof ARRC scheme, which promotes best practice and continual improvement for installations in an area where new products carry a training requirement.
In this new role, Danny will continue to provide technical support and be the ‘go-to’ oracle for liquid roofing systems across the business, while also focusing on increasing sales of liquid roofing products from new and existing contractor customers.
Day-to-day, he will continue to visit sites to assist contractors or to present new products to them. He will also continue to work alongside the six field technicians at AccuRoof, supporting them with liquid roofing enquiries, and will carry on the training of both customers and SIG Roofing branch staff. It is a varied role, but one that Danny thrives on and excels at, as recognised when he became a finalist in the Liquid Roofing and Waterproofing Association (LRWA) Awards in March this year.
“It has been a positive year for me on all fronts,” says Danny. “Being recognised by the industry at the LRWA Awards as a finalist in their training category, and now being promoted by the organisation I work for, AccuRoof, has been very important to me and much appreciated. I am looking forward to seeing the liquid roofing category continue to grow at both AccuRoof and for SIG Roofing.”
