Lawson bags local award…

Demolition firm wins Wiltshire business of year award

Shrivenham-based Lawson Demolition has been named as Wiltshire Business Of The Year.

The company won the top accolade at the awards dinner at the Four Pillars Hotel at South Cerney last night when it beat the more than 100 other firms to the title.

“It was a tremendous night,” said Shamus Donald, the regional managing director of Newsquest, which publishes the Swindon Advertiser and the Wiltshire Business Magazine and which sponsored the event.

Lawson Demolition, of Shrivenham, was founded in 1991 with a staff of just three, serving Swindon and the south west.

Now the business has grown to have more than 50 staff and it is a key national player in the demolition world.

The news comes just weeks after Lawson managing director Martin Wilson was named as second vice president of the UK’s National Federation of Demolition Contractors.
