Adrian Buttress, MD of Permaroof

Adrian Buttress

Managing Director

I have been part owner of Permaroof UK LTD since 2002. I joined the company as a customer when I was a sole trading installer. I was invited to merge my small company into Permaroof, and become Contracts Director.

Over the years my co-director and I built up the business and in 2017, I bought out the shareholders so they may enjoy early retirement. I continued to build Permaroof for a few more years until such time we became one of the main EPDM importers in the UK.

My daily role is plentiful, to include but not limited to, marketing, sourcing new products, importation of stock, working with my management team, product planning and overall growth of the business by forming strategies. I eat sleep and breathe the business, and will continue to seek new opportunities for the company.
