Top March Stories: The 2023 International Roofing Expo, Safety Programs and Roofing Alliance’s Student Competition

By Evelyn Witterholt. 

Here are the articles that have been trending on MetalCoffeeShop™ (MCS) this past month. 

Looking back at our most-read articles from March, it’s clear that everyone in the roofing and metal construction industry was thinking about the 2023 International Roofing Expo (IRE). Over half of our top five most popular articles covered the industry’s largest event of the year. We had such a great time at this year’s expo and we can’t wait to see you all next year! 

One of our top articles last month was coverage of the Roofing Alliance’s Student Competition. This article gave an overview of this amazing event where six student teams presented their project proposals for a Globe Life Field reroofing project. You can check out our interviews with the student teams as well as other IRE attendees on our YouTube channel. 

Our most popular article of March came to us from John Kenney, CEO of Cotney Consulting Group, who outlines a safety disciplinary program and an employee recognition program for safe work practices. Safety should always be a top priority for the roofing and metal construction industry, and we always love what John writes for us about workplace safety. And with his article being number one this past month, it’s evident that our readers do too! 

Here are the top five most-read articles from March: 

5 - Get Involved. Give Back. Get Started.
