IFD World Championship for Young Roofers 2024

Preparations are well under way for the UK IFD team to compete in this years’ international championship taking place in Innsbruck, Austria from the 13 to 15 November. A replica rig has now been constructed at The Centre of Roofing Excellence (CoRE) in Hereford. Four training sessions have been scheduled where the UK Team Joe Gallagher from I H Gallagher Ltd and Tyler Norris from Karl Terry Roofing Contractors Ltd will replicate the competition tasks under the guidance of mentors Andy Rowlands, Bob Coutts and Matt Timby.
