On Wednesday 25^th January a group from AJW visited the head office of SIKA to learn about their waterproofing membrane system, SIKA RoofPro Single Ply.

As part of the Marketing department, attending training is something we have always planned to do, so when the opportunity came up to visit the SIKA head office, which is only an hour’s drive, I jumped at the chance to see how these days were run and I wasn’t disappointed!

The day was led by James Buckley from SIKA who talked us through some SIKA background information, which developed into learning about the product and what it is used for. To add to the experience SIKA have two roofers working with them on site to present how they fix the product. When learning about a new product it is essential to understand how the system works and how you actually fit it, plus learning about why you need all of the components and what they do.

We were also all given the chance to weld a section of membrane, which ended in a competition. Sam McGhee our new Assistant Branch Manager at our Witham won 1^st prize!

The day was not just learning about the product but was also about getting to know the team from SIKA better, and it turned out to be a really fun day, we even got a lovely posh lunch!

Thanks to the team at SIKA for a great day. The AJW team who attended all left with a developed understanding of the product and we look forward as a business to promoting SIKA RoofPro Single Ply to our customers.
