About David

Fast forward to today, with Firestone’s rebrand to Elevate under Holcim, Rubberseal has grown into a leading UK partner, offering a comprehensive range of flat roofing solutions for both residential and commercial markets.
David’s passion for roofing is undeniable – from working on exceptional projects to witnessing the evolution of modern roofing systems. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters, golfing, and watching F1.
