Western Counties Roofing Limited was formed in October 1991 by our late chairman Derek White, Managing Director David White and company secretary Beryl White. Derek White had spent 40 years within the roofing industry. His considerable experience and seemingly endless motivation and energy had earned him a reputation as a responsible contractor, who conducted his business with integrity and honesty. Sadly Derek passed away in 2001 however, David White assumed full responsibility.
