Celebrating Women in Roofing

We head to the Northland, to speak with Rhianna from Roof Bay of Islands, a.k.a. Roof BOI.

“Kia Ora, my name is Rhianna, and I am from Kerikeri, Northland. I have been working in the roofing industry for the past three years at Roof Bay of Islands. During my time here, I have developed a strong skill set and a deep understanding of the trade.”

Rhianna has been making significant strides in the roofing industry at Roof Bay of Islands. Her journey has been both challenging and rewarding.

“As the Flashing Manufacturer and Administrator at Roof BOI, I oversee all aspects of flashings for our roofing teams,” Rhianna shares. “My role involves in-house manufacturing of flashings, ordering products, overseeing delivery, and managing invoicing for both Roof BOI flashing projects and external customers.”

Self-drive, teamwork, and communication are three crucial tools for working in the roofing industry, and Rhianna exemplifies these qualities. She takes great pride in ensuring that Flash BOI runs smoothly from start to finish. “Working closely with our teams, I ensure that all flashing materials meet the highest quality standards, contributing to the overall success of each roofing project,” she explains.

Rhianna’s commitment to providing excellent customer service can be seen clearly in her approach. “I am passionate about being able to assist customers with any inquiries they may have, delivering accurate information and effective solutions while maintaining a high level of professionalism.”

As a woman in the roofing industry, Rhianna takes immense pride in her role and the knowledge she has gained. “I believe any woman interested in the roofing industry would thrive in this role, particularly in the flashing sector, and I encourage more women to explore opportunities in this field,” she encourages.
