William Sinclair and his father to speak at the World Demolition Summit 2015

We are pleased to pass on the news that William Sinclair, immediate past president of the NFDC, will be giving a presentation at the World Demolition Summit 2015 this year.

His presentation will be about "The demolition role in urban redevelopment," which will have a strong focus on the implosion of the six Red Road towers in Glasgow last year. There's also a chance he will speak about the "Gallowgate Twins" demolition and the first use of Despe’s TopDownWay modular deconstruction system. William's father, David Sinclair, will also be speaking.
