NFDC appoints first chief


The National Federation of Demolition Contractors (NFDC) has appointed Christine Macfarlane as its first ever chief executive.

Macfarlane has an academic background, including stints as director of research and business development at Oxford Brookes University and head of research and consultancy services at Brunel University.

She will take up the post on 9 September, and according to NFDC life president David Keane, is thought of as "very capable".

"I think it was her organisation and excellent administration skills that impressed everybody," said Keane.

Macfarlane replaces John McGregor, who is retiring after 12 years as the federation's national secretary.

McGregor has been associated with the demolition industry for some 21 years. He became national secretary of the NFDC in February 1990. "It is a mark of the way he has developed the role that the title of the post has been changed to that of chief executive," said Keane.
