We will be covering the Institute of Demolition Engineers’ spring seminar in greater detail in the coming days but we simply couldn’t hold this one back; DemolitionNews has been named as the IDE’s first press affiliate member.

DemolitionNews founder Mark Anthony was in attendance and was welcomed into the IDE fold by new president John Woodward.

“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,” Anthony says. “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.”
