Dr Demolition’s new book is out now!
We’re proud to share that Dr Terence Quarmby, one of our directors at Dorton Group, has written an autobiography charting his journey from his early days as an armed forces child, to becoming known in the industry as Dr Demolition.
‘Dr Demolition: The extraordinary life of an ordinary man’ is written with Terry’s trademark honesty and straight-talking style. Terry explores his life as a troubled teen growing up in Yorkshire, his move into the demolition industry and subsequent rise to the top of the trade, before achieving his ambition to gain a doctorate.
“Quarmby’s is a story filled with plot twists, diversions and unforeseen adventures. His is a restless spirit that is perfectly suited to the nomadic lifestyle of the jobbing demolition man. There are countless brushes with authority, ironic given his ultimate position as a respected head of an entire industry.”
