CORC is a highly respected trade association representing the roofing industry in the United Kingdom.
The partnership aims to provide CORC members with information and access to comprehensive asbestos training courses, ensuring that roofing professionals possess the necessary skills and knowledge to identify and manage asbestos-related risks effectively.
The CORC, founded in 1985, is committed to supporting roofing contractors, manufacturers, and suppliers across the UK while championing excellence and professionalism within the industry. By teaming up with UKATA, the CORC will further strengthen its commitment to the well-being of its members and the wider roofing community.
UKATA, based in Chesterfield, is an industry-recognised association, making it a trusted name in the industry. Through its network of members, UKATA approved training equips individuals and organisations with the expertise needed to work safely and confidently in environments where asbestos may be present.
The collaboration between UKATA and the CORC underscores the shared commitment to promoting safe practices, raising awareness, and reducing the risk of asbestos exposure within the roofing sector.
Craig Evans, Chief Operating Officer at UKATA, said, “We are thrilled to be partnering with The Confederation of Roofing Contractors. This collaboration represents a step forward in reinforcing asbestos safety practices within the roofing industry. UKATA members provide high-quality asbestos training courses, which will ensure that CORC members have the knowledge and skills to handle asbestos-related risks effectively.”
Gemma Doherty, Insurance Manager at the Confederation of Roofing Contractors, commented: “We are delighted to welcome UKATA as our new corporate partner. Asbestos poses a significant risk within our industry, and it is vital that roofing professionals are adequately trained to protect themselves and others. This partnership will play a crucial role in enhancing safety standards and professional development in the roofing sector.”
