The Trussed Rafter Association (TRA) has confirmed that its long-awaited Members’ Day and Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2026 will take place on 23 April 2026, at the Manor Hotel in Meriden, Solihull. Recognised as a key date in the UK roofing and structural timber calendar, the event will bring together TRA members from across the country for a full day of industry insight, collaboration, and celebration.
The annual gathering plays a vital role in supporting the trussed rafter and wider roofing sector by offering members the opportunity to review the association’s progress, discuss industry challenges, and help shape strategic priorities for the year ahead. The 2026 event will focus on reflecting on the TRA’s achievements during 2025, while also outlining plans, initiatives, and policy priorities for 2026 and beyond.
Attendees will hear key updates from TRA Chair Luke Roberts and Chief Executive Nick Boulton, who will provide an overview of the association’s performance, technical developments, and ongoing engagement with regulators, designers, manufacturers, and the construction supply chain. These updates are expected to address current market pressures, evolving building regulations, skills development, and the continued drive for quality and compliance in roof structure design and installation.
Beyond formal presentations, the TRA Members’ Day is designed to foster meaningful connections across the roofing and trussed rafter community. A strong emphasis will be placed on networking opportunities, allowing members to exchange experiences, discuss best practices, and explore collaboration in an increasingly complex construction environment. The TRA is particularly encouraging new and younger members to attend, highlighting the event as an ideal platform to build professional relationships and gain a deeper understanding of the value of TRA membership.
Interactive member workshops will form a core part of the programme, enabling open discussion on technical, commercial, and regulatory issues affecting the sector. These sessions are intended to be practical and member-driven, giving attendees a direct voice in conversations that influence industry standards and guidance. In addition, delegates will have the opportunity to meet specialist suppliers who support the trussed rafter and roofing sector, offering insight into new products, services, and innovations.
The day’s proceedings will conclude with one of the industry’s most respected celebrations—the TRA Roofscape Awards Ceremony 2026. The awards recognise excellence across both Project and Individual categories, showcasing outstanding achievements in design, manufacturing, installation, and professional contribution within the trussed rafter and roofing industry. The ceremony will be followed by the TRA Members’ Dinner, providing a more informal setting for continued networking and discussion. Attendance at the dinner is exclusive to members with prior reservations.
The TRA has confirmed that registration is essential for all attendees and that the event is open exclusively to TRA members. With its blend of strategic insight, technical discussion, and industry recognition, the 2026 Members’ Day and AGM is expected to once again serve as a cornerstone event for the UK roofing and trussed rafter community.
For members seeking to stay informed, connected, and actively involved in shaping the future of the industry, the TRA Members’ Day 2026 promises a valuable and engaging experience.
