Richard Nugent has never seen a regulatory environment this tough on business owners. Nugent, the chief executive officer of Nations Roof LLC, headquartered in Lithia Springs, Ga., and the current president of the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), updated Best of Success attendees on industry trends and the association’s initiatives in a presentation titled “NRCA Update.” He outlined key problem areas for contractors to watch and pointed to a sea of regulations as the biggest concern facing contractors today.
Nugent noted that the average age of America’s skilled workforce is rising, and that will have an impact on the bottom line. “That will affect everyone’s workers’ comp rate in this room,” he said.
