Claire has taught many senior people within the roofing industry how to tile roofs during the five years that she was the workshop trainer in the Lafarge Roofing Training Centre. Claire also led more formal presentations in the theory of roofing and prepared many technical CPD presentations for use by the Lafarge sales force.
