The honour, formally approved and presented by HRH The Princess Royal at a ceremony on the 2nd December at Fishmongers Hall in London, celebrates organisations that demonstrate exceptional commitment to learning and development. In its milestone year, celebrating both the Awards’ 10th anniversary and HRH’s 75th birthday, SIG Roofing has become part of a community that showcases the transformative impact of training on people, performance, and organisational success.

 

The SIG Roofing Sales Academy was launched in 2023 and is designed to build sales capability through structured learning. Its content is specifically tailored to the roofing business, and they partner with the Institute of Sales Professionals (ISP) for independent assessment. The specific aims are to equip the sales team with advanced selling techniques and product knowledge and to enhance employee engagement and motivation towards development.  They offer a blended learning approach combining self-paced modules via a Learning Management System (LMS), live MS Teams sessions, and classroom workshops. Over 150 members of staff have already completed the training to various levels.

 

“We are very proud to receive this valuable recognition for our work and investment in the SIG Roofing Training Academies. The Sales academy was our first structured training programme, and it has embedded a culture of continuous development at SIG Roofing, driving both personal and business success by aligning individual growth with our strategic objectives. It was also a personal delight to meet HRH, The Princess Royal.”  Rachel Queenan – HR Director for SIG UK Roofing.
