RVA’s managing director Richard Vann has been announced as one of the session chairs for this year’s World Demolition Summit in Dublin, Ireland.

This is not the first time Richard has drawn on his decades of experience to support the event. In November 2017, he took to the stage as keynote speaker, to address the hundreds of delegates who had gathered in London. He spoke about the challenges that had faced the industry that year and urged demolition professionals to adjust their thinking to leverage the global opportunities that would surface in 2018 and beyond.

He also urged contractors, consultants, trainers and other thought-leaders alike, to consider the worrying dearth of young talent coming into the demolition world and take action to address a potential generational gap of skills.

This year, his role will see him chair the Summit’s afternoon session, with further details due to be confirmed imminently. He will also reveal the winner of the Industrial Demolition category – one of 14 categories at the event’s awards ceremony, set to be hosted by BBC personality John Inverdale – on Thursday 8 November.
