Matt Birch gives his feedback on the first IDE Scottish Seminar

On Friday, 8th July the IDE held its first Scottish Seminar in Edinburgh at the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Our very own Trainee Demolition Engineer Matt Birch was in attendance and offered some very positive feedback.

Here's an excerpt:

"As someone new to the industry and no prior experience of any of these events, I had a great time. All the exhibitors and speakers were all very friendly, passionate about their area and are more than happy to talk to you and explain what it is that they do."

You can read his full account of the seminar over on the IDE website.
