The IDE welcomes DemolitionNews

We are pleased to announce that DemolitionNews' Mark Anthony has become an affiliate member of the IDE. In doing so, the press outfit becomes one of the first to achieve the status of affiliate membership.

Commenting on the news, DemolitionNews' Mark Anthony said:

"From the moment we started DemolitionNews, we made it very clear that we had no allegiance with any trade body or association and there was always a concern that those trade bodies would, therefore, keep us at arms’ length.

The fact that the IDE has reached out in this way, despite our sworn independence, speaks volume for the transparency and media savvy of the modern IDE. And the fact that we heard about it from John Woodward – the man who effectively inspired us to start DemolitionNews in the first place – just makes it all the more special."
