DemolitionNews understands that Duncan Rudall has resigned as chief executive officer of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors.
Although he shadowed former CEO Howard Button for a time, he has been officially in the role for a little over two years.
The timing of his arrival was not ideal. He inherited the fallout from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) into bid-rigging and collusion that resulted in fines of almost £60 million for 10 NFDC member companies.
The timing of his departure is no more ideal. The Federation is due to elect a new president next month. In all likelihood, that president will be Adrian Corrigan. And one of his first tasks will be to find a suitable replacement for Rudall.
