More UK demolition degree coverage

We are happy to see the UK's first demolition degree continuing to get coverage from some of the top online destinations for our industry. The latest is by Construction News and written by Duncan Rudall.

"Demolition has long been seen as the poor relation of the construction industry, especially to the outside world who still think big wrecking balls are knocking buildings down all over the country."

NDTG appoint C&D to revise the Demolition Manager Course

C&D are delighted that NDTG Group Manager Sophie Cox has appointed John and Jill Woodward to revise the Demolition Manager course content, reformat the course into full PTTLS format and produce a trainer manual for all future courses.

The revision will take place during, and immediately following, the January intake which commences on Friday, 17th December in Birmingham. The Birmingham course will be co-hosted by IDE Vice President Duncan Rudall with a view to Duncan taking over delivery of the course from John during 2014.

Commenting on Duncan Rudall's involvement, John said "Duncan's "hands on" approach to course delivery will be ideal for the Manager course and he will bring fresh ideas to the course to revise the content in light of current practices, and the enthusiasm to deliver quality training to upcoming demolition managers"

It is expected that Duncan will join Roy Brown as the main deliverers of the Manager course this year, though John will still deliver the course for NDTG Scotland in 2014.

Duncan is pictured receiving his IDE Vice President scroll from current IDE President Steve Jack.
