Founded in 1990 as Forster Roofing, we began with a clear focus on delivering excellence. More than 35 years later, that principle remains unchanged. We have grown from a specialist roofing contractor into a group with expertise across roofing and renewable energy, working with housebuilder, businesses, farmers, landowners and public-sector organisations throughout Scotland.
Our journey into renewable energy began in 2007, expanding our capabilities. Today, our roofing and energy specialists combine established knowledge with a forward-looking approach, delivering solutions that meet the changing needs of the built environment and energy sector.
We recognise that our role extends beyond the projects we deliver. We are committed to supporting the communities in which we operate, creating more opportunities for our people and contributing to a more sustainable future for the industries we serve.
The strength of Forster Group comes from the people behind it. Every project draws on teams across the business, on site and in the office, all trained to the standards we hold ourselves to.
We have continually invested in innovation, technology and productivity, developing the expertise we need to deliver today while preparing for the demands of tomorrow. Since 2015 our Skills Academy has brought new talent into the industry, while our investment in off-site manufacturing and digital systems has helped build a workforce that is safer, happier and more consistent in how it delivers.
Since 2015, Forster Group Skills Academy has been addressing one of the construction industry’s biggest challenges; the skills gap.
As the sector faces increasing demands for quality, innovation and sustainability, we recognise that closing this gap requires more than just training. It requires leadership, structure and a commitment to setting new standards. The Skills Academy provides a clear pathway into the industry, helping shape a future skilled and confident workforce ready to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving industry.
To date we have supported over 100 new entrants through our accredited training programmes, with an apprenticeship completion rate of 95%, well above industry average, ensuring that next generation of the workforce are equipped with practical skills for enhanced productivity, industry knowledge to deliver the highest standards and a commitment to professional conduct.
