Specialist contractor Kinetic Demolition is celebrating its 10th anniversary by announcing a new charity partnership with My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, with the aim of raising £10,000 to support the fight against motor neurone disease (MND).
Established in 2016 by Managing Director James Warren, Kinetic Demolition has grown into one of Scotland’s established industrial demolition specialists. The business now employs 25 people and continues to expand.
Today, Kinetic Demolition is a trusted contractor delivering projects for clients across the UK, from Kirkwall to Cornwall. A member of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors (NFDC), Kinetic delivers complex projects for major clients including Whyte & Mackay, AkzoNobel, Calachem and the MOD, with a strong track record of repeat business.
Over the past decade, the company has diversified significantly, building capability across the chemical, oil and gas, defence and heavy industrial sectors, and establishing itself as a trusted contractor in the industrial demolition sector.
Kinetic Demolition has also recently become 100% employee-owned, reinforcing its commitment to its people and to long-term, sustainable growth. Since its first year of operation, the business has achieved growth of more than 500%, reflecting both market demand and the company’s reputation for safety, reliability and technical expertise.
To mark its 10-year milestone, Kinetic Demolition has chosen to partner with My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, founded by the late Scotland and British & Irish Lions rugby legend Doddie Weir, to support vital research into MND. The partnership also reflects the company’s support for rugby at grassroots level, including its sponsorship of Corstorphine Cougars Rugby. During its anniversary year, Kinetic aims to raise £10,000 through a programme of fundraising activities involving staff, clients and partners.
James Warren, Managing Director of Kinetic Demolition, said: “Reaching 10 years in business is a significant milestone for Kinetic Demolition and one we’re extremely proud of. From modest beginnings, we’ve grown into a business delivering complex demolition projects for clients across the UK, supported by a dedicated team and a loyal client base. Our business has been built on long-term relationships, a collaborative approach and a commitment to being open and straightforward with our clients. We understand the importance of trust in our sector, and we’ve always believed that being transparent, professional and reliable is the best way to deliver successful outcomes. As we celebrate this milestone, we wanted to mark it in a way that reflects values that matter to us as a business. Rugby has long been part of that, including through our support of Corstorphine Cougars Rugby, so partnering with My Name’5 Doddie Foundation felt like a very natural choice. We’re proud to be supporting such an important cause and to be playing our part in raising funds during our anniversary year.”
Paul Thompson, Director of Fundraising and Communications, at My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, added: “We’re incredibly grateful to Kinetic Demolition for choosing to support My Name’5 Doddie Foundation as they celebrate their 10th anniversary. Marking a milestone like this by giving back is a fantastic way to recognise the people and partnerships that have helped build their business.
The team’s ambition to raise £10,000 will help us continue to fund vital MND research and provide hope to those affected by the disease. We look forward to working with James and the entire Kinetic team throughout their anniversary year and wish them every success as they enter their second decade.”
As Kinetic Demolition enters its second decade, the company remains focused on continued growth, investment in its people and the delivery of high-quality demolition solutions across the UK.
