Vice President Julie is thrilled with new role

03 June 2013

Julie White, the managing director of D-Drill – which has offices across the UK, has been made the vice president of the International Association of Concrete Drillers and Sawers (IACDS).

Julie was elected to the post during a meeting in Germany and is the first woman to take up the role for the organisation, which promotes best practice and shares information with members on the latest technology and developments within the industry.

The association was established in 1995 and means Julie’s presidency will fall during the organisation’s 20th anniversary celebrations.

She said: “I am thrilled to have been elected as a vice president of the International Association of Concrete Drillers and Sawers. “It’s a role I am very much looking forward to because I am a big believer in the industry – throughout the world – working together for the good of each other.

“Of course, business is competitive but if our industry is to continue to break new ground we must share what we do well, advances in technology and look at how we bring through new blood.

“I have always been a huge advocate of the association – my father played a role in it in the past – because I believe in what it is trying to achieve for the good of our sector.”

D-Drill’s headquarters is in Shilton, near Coventry, in the West Midlands, with eight other offices across England, working for a range of contractors – from internationally renowned companies to SMEs.

Julie added: “Being part of the association helps to drive up standards in the industry and, by being attached to the IACDS, it is a benchmark of quality.”
