AR Demolition MD named new head of National Demolition Training Group
Richard Dolman of AR Demolition was named the new chairman of the UK’s National Demolition Training Group at today’s NDTG Annual General Meeting following a shock ballot prompted by chairman-in-waiting
Richard Comley’s decision to stand down due to health issues.
The appointment of Dolman to the top job in the NDTG marks the culmination of a remarkable rise through the industry ranks for Dolman. Less than four years ago, Dolman was yet to be admitted to the National Federation of Demolition Contractors and was a little-known newcomer in NDTG circles.
But as a committed advocate of the NDTG’s drive for a fully competent and carded workforce, Dolman has become a familiar figure at NFDC, NDTG and IDE functions. Although his appointment came as little surprise to NDTG members, his nomination had clearly taken Dolman by surprise.
In a hastily prepared speech, Dolman vowed to continue the work of predecessor Jim Caldwell and admitted that he had appropriated many of his key aims from Richard Comley.
