Dalton Roofing goes from strength-to-strength with award successes
Chesterfield’s Dalton Roofing continues to achieve success, gaining recognition in several prestigious awards and competitions.
The company recently entered two apprentices into the Skill Build Competition through Leeds College of Building. One apprentice, Levente Szasz, came 1st in the competition, while another Dalton apprentice, Sam Jinks, finished in 4th place. Both have secured a place at the final which takes place in London this November.
Sam also entered the BMI UK and Ireland Apprentice of the Year Competition in Cirencester and received the Highly Commended Award.
Elsewhere, Dalton Roofing has been been shortlisted for Family Business of the year 2024 at the East Midlands Business Masters Awards.
In addition, the firm is among the finalists for Outstanding Contribution to Workforce Development 2024 in the Sheffield Business Awards.
In yet more recognition of Dalton’s commitment to skills and training, the company has been shortlisted for the East Midlands Chamber Derbyshire Business Awards for Commitment to People Development.
By September 2024, Dalton Roofing will have seven apprentices, with three in the 2nd year of their course, and four beginning their apprenticeship journey this year.
One of the new apprentices is Niall, son of the business’s owner, Philip. Gabriella is also starting her apprenticeship journey and is proud to showcase that construction doesn’t have to be male dominated.
Owner, Philip Dalton commented: “We are so proud of all our apprentices – each of them has their own story and we’re glad to be playing our part in growing their skills, and growing them as people as we help build their careers.
“Here at Dalton Roofing, we understand that the construction sector needs fresh talent to drive our industry forward into the future. Without skilled people, the places we work, live and play in wouldn’t be built – so it’s vital to showcase how great our sector is to work in, and this is reflected by the fantastic achievements of our current apprentices. We’re excited to watch them grow and develop further in the coming months and years.”
Andy Dabbs, Destination Chesterfield Board Member and Chair of Chesterfield’s Property and Construction Group commented: “A huge congratulations to Dalton Roofing on their award successes. Promoting skills and development in construction is hugely important, and it’s great to see a Chesterfield business showcasing their commitment to the next generation.”
