Volvo win Innovation prize at Demolition Awards



Volvo Construction Equipment’s Standard Demolition machine package has been presented with the Innovation Award in the Series Product category at the Demolition Awards held in Amsterdam earlier this month.

Volvo’s Derrick Butterfield, Global Manager, Marketing Design, said:

It’s always nice to have one’s efforts recognized, but to be awarded this prize by the industry itself is really encouraging. We recognize that the demolition sector has specific needs, not least in increased operator safety, but also in performance and durability. Our Standard Demolition Package addresses all of these criteria in a tailor made, easy-to-specify way for customers.

The award was presented by our very own John Woodward to Tony Thorp as can be see in the picture above.
