As part of our ongoing commitment to heritage craftsmanship and the future of roofing, William Blyth is proud to have donated a selection of our handmade clay roof tiles to the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) to support apprentice training.
These tiles are being used in hands-on training sessions to help up-skill the next generation of roofing professionals. By supplying authentic materials crafted using traditional methods, we’re helping apprentices develop practical experience that reflects real-world projects—especially those involving listed buildings, conservation requirements, or high-spec residential developments.
“As one of the UK’s oldest roof tile manufacturers, we know how vital it is to pass on these skills. Supporting apprentices through the NFRC allows us to invest in both the quality of roofing and the future of the trade.”
The NFRC continues to champion training and best practice in the roofing industry, and we’re proud to play a small part in that mission. At William Blyth, we believe that traditional skills should not only be preserved but celebrated—and that starts with giving trainees the materials and support they need to thrive.
