Honouring Lifelong Dedication to the Demolition Industry
The NFDC is proud to share that three of our longstanding members, John Lynch of Newline Midlands Limited, William Sinclair of Safedem, and Jim Connell of Connell Brothers Ltd have been awarded Fellowships by the Institute of Demolition Engineers (IDE).
Presented by IDE President Adrian McLean, this prestigious honour recognises decades of leadership, commitment, and passion within the demolition sector.
Leadership and Service
These Fellowships are a rare professional achievement in demolition. Each recipient has contributed significantly to raising standards, mentoring others, and giving back to both the profession and the wider community.
At NFDC, we are honoured to see John, William, and Jim recognised in this way. Their careers have shaped our federation, elevated industry practice, and inspired the next generation of professionals. Their continued contributions reflect the core values of the NFDC.
