Andrew Forshaw quits, prompting unprecedented election.
DemolitionNews understands that the National Federation of Demolition Contractors has accepted the resignation of vice president Andrew Forshaw of Walter Forshaw Ltd.
Under the NFDC rules of succession, this unprecedented move potentially leaves a presidential void after the reign of incumbent president – Martin Wilson – comes to an end. And it is a void that could easily become protracted. The role of NFDC president is demanding and the number of individuals with the company support structure to allow them to tend to regular Federation work is extremely limited.
Furthermore, the traditional route to president requires spells as regional chairman, second vice president and vice president.
The reasons behind Forshaw’s shock decision remain shrouded in mystery, but an announcement from the NFDC is expected shortly.
