Wooldridge Group boss killed in helicopter crash


We are sad to report that Ian Woolridge, boss of Surrey demolition contractor Woolridge Group has been killed in a tragic accident.

While travelling on a helicopter with a close friend of the Prince of Wales, the craft came down in the Mourne Mountains killing both passengers and the pilot. Ian was only 52 years of age.

According to Construction Enquirer:

He ran the £40m turnover Surrey-based Wooldridge Group with his brother Graham. The firm, a member of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors, employs around 300 and runs a fleet of more than 400 machines.

The business has operated as a demolition, land remediation and construction company for more than 30 years, covering jobs from the expansion of facilities at the royal polo club to demolition works at the prestigious One Hyde Park development in London.


Our thoughts of with Ian's family and friends at this difficult time.
