Why have ethnic minorities failed to scale the global demolition corporate ladder?
OK, before I begin, I’d like to make two things very clear. 1. What I am about to say may not be viewed as politically correct; and 2. I would dearly love to be proven wrong.
Now, on with the question.
During the past two years, I have been lucky enough to travel to more than a dozen different countries on both sides of the Atlantic and it has slowly dawned on me that the upper echelons of the US and European demolition industries are almost exclusively Caucasian
Now I am not suggesting that the global demolition business is operating a covert apartheid policy; I realise that a large proportion of demolition companies are family concerns with a history and ethnicity that pre-dates racial integration and political correctness; and I also realise that so-called ethnic minorities are well represented at site level.
But how is it that virtually no black demolition professionals are present within the upper echelons of this industry?
