Single Ply Roofing Association

The Single Ply Roofing Association (SPRA) is the trade association representing the UK's single ply roofing industry. Our membership covers the whole supply chain from manufacturers, distributors, specialist contractors and individuals. All our members are independently audited annually against rigorous quality criteria from manufacture to project completion.

Serving the UK roofing industry for over 25 years, SPRA employs two independent directors, James Talman (CEO) and Jim Hooker (Technical Director) to manage and develop the association's activities on its behalf. The SPRA Council consists of 11 elected representatives (including the Chairman) from its membership who are elected to serve for two years to develop and agree strategies to fulfil the association's obligations for continuous improvement. Operational involvement of all members is through meetings of SPRA's Technical Committee.

Mike has a wealth of commercial experience and expertise in roofing and cladding having spent 24 years working for SSQ and Eternit. Mike's vision is to inspire roofers, architects and contractors to maximise the use of roof space to include amenity, biodiversity and energy capture.
