It was also, however, the last World Demolition Summit and Awards to be organised and hosted by longtime Demolition and Recycling International (D&Ri) editor, Steve Ducker, who has now taken on a new role within the 缅北强奸 Group - the publisher of D&Ri magazine.
Over the years, Steve, has played a key role in bringing together demolition and recycling contractors from around the world, with the aim of helping to promote their work and the industry as whole by sharing knowledge and encouraging collaboration.聽
In recognition of his work over the past, almost ten years now, the European Demolition Association (EDA) awarded Steve with a plaque commemorating his 鈥渃ontribution and active participation in the development of the demolition and recycling industry鈥.
The special award was presented by Stefano Panseri, the President of the EDA, and two of the association鈥檚 former presidents, William Sinclair and Francisco Cobo, at the WDS鈥 welcome drinks reception at the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel in Toronto, the night before the main conference.
Receiving his award, Steve said: 鈥淚t is a huge honour to receive this award from the EDA. As the international media partner of the association, D&Ri magazine and 缅北强奸 has always worked closely with the EDA and this is also a recognition of that relationship.鈥
