SPRA Announce new Technical Manager

The Single Ply Roofing Association is delighted to announce that Ronan Brunton will be formerly joining SPRA in August as Technical Manager.

Ronan has spent over 30 years working in the single ply roofing industry with thermoplastic and thermoset materials at manufacturer, contractor, distributor and accessory companies, most recently as Managing Director of both SealEco Ltd (UK) and SealEco Contracts Ltd (UK). Ronan already has strong associations with SPRA, having brought both organisations into SPRA membership and has represented and supported SPRA as a Council member since June 2016.

In 2015, Ronan was a proactive member of the newly formed SPRA Small Roof Group which successfully developed membrane membership so that SPRA now fully represents both the PVC and EPDM sectors.

Ronan said “The essence of SPRA is quality and working to continually improve this in conjunction with all members and the SPRA Council. Along with my technical knowledge and expertise, I have a track record of continual quality improvement in all my work to date and I look forward to continuing this practice within SPRA.”

Ronan went on to say “In addition to taking over and further developing the excellent technical support provided by Jim Hooker over many years, I am also looking forward to promoting what is a very positive message to external stakeholders, positioning SPRA as a really focussed organisation with a strong team, ethos and membership. The extended construction industry always needs reminding of the excellent work that this organisation strives to deliver.”

Full of enthusiasm and ideas, Ronan has already represented SPRA at a number of high profile meetings including the post-Grenfell Industry Response Group and sits on the Build UK HSEQ sub-committee.

Cathie Clarke, SPRA CEO said “Having worked with Ronan as a SPRA member and via the SPRA Council, I know how passionate he is about the single ply industry and how excited and committed he is now about this new opportunity to ‘give something back’ and to further develop and support the organisation.  I am confidant that he will build on all the great things that Jim has done for SPRA, its members and the wider industry over the years.”

Ronan will step down from the SPRA Council in June and will begin his new role as Technical Manager at the start of August, working alongside Jim for five months to ensure a smooth transition of technical support.
