Our history >
In 2007 Jennings Roofing
became part of the
Northern Bear group
Jennings Roofing was started in 1960 by Roy Jennings, the father of Graham Jennings. The business built up an excellent reputation as a felt roofing contractor and carrying out work for local builders.
In 1972 Graham Jennings joined the company and in 1977 he took on the challenge of expanding the slating and tiling division of the business. The division grew rapidly so that the company soon established a national reputation undertaking contracts with local authorities and government institutions all over the UK. Graham Jennings became managing director in 1985.
However after 46 years working at Jennings Graham has decided to step down from his role as Managing Director as of 30th March 2018.
Graham has held the position since the formation of Jennings as a limited company in 1985 after working the previous 13 years for or in partnership with his father.
Jennings became part of Northern Bear Plc and over the past 6 years Graham has combined the roles of Managing Director of Northern Bear Plc and Jennings Roofing Limited, However due to the expansion and further development of Northern Bear as from the 1st April 2018 Graham will be concentrating on his role as the MD of the Group Plc Board.
He will however remain as a consultant to the incoming MD of Jennings Roofing.
Martin Briggs who has worked closely with Graham for the past 26 years will take over the MD’s position at Jennings Roofing and as with all other Group Company MD’s will report directly to Graham in his new fulltime role.
