Interview with the new president of the Institute of Demolition Engineers.
In the interests of disclosure and objectivity, let me state for the record that John Woodward, the new president of the Institute of Demolition Engineers, is a friend of mine. He was the inspiration behind the creation of DemolitionNews.com, has been an almost constant companion as we have travelled the world to bring you the latest in demolition news, and the following video was actually shot at John’s house where both myself and Mrs DemolitionNews.com were staying for a thoroughly enjoyable weekend of good food and bad football with John and his lovely wife Jill.
That said, the following video interview – the first since Woodward’s ascension to the top of the IDE tree earlier today – was not designed to be an easy ride. The fact that the IDE is often seen as the poor relation to the National Federation of Demolition Contractors, and the fact that Woodward is a consultant heading up the world’s only professional demolition institute are both covered in an insightful and entertaining interview, as is Woodward’s high public profile and his unique dress sense.
We hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed putting it together and wish President Woodward and First Lady Jill the very best in their new roles.
