An East Anglian roofing company has been recognised for its top level health and safety practices.

Apex Roofing, which has bases at Lowestoft and Cottenham, near Cambridge, has been awarded a Gold level certificate by the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC), as part of its 2016 Health & Safety Roofing Awards Scheme.

The award reflects the postive attitude that Apex takes towards health and safety and its committment to reducing accidents and hazards, marking it out as one of the companies with a top level health and safety record.

Apex director Jackie Biswell said: “We are thrilled to have received this recognition from the NFRC. It’s a testament to how much emphasis we put on our health and safety obligations.

“It’s something we take very seriously and we are wholly committed to protecting the welfare of all of our staff and any other persons affected by our operations.”

She added: “This is something that we view as an integral part of our business. We will never compromise on safety in order to meet deadlines or targets.

“We provide continuous training and rigorously enforce all personal protective equipment requirements to ensure that our health and safety record never wavers.”
