After spotting this company name on the side of a truck parked in Hastings yesterday, BayBuzz rang Quality Demolition’s managing director, Dwight Black, to nominate his company name as best oxymoron of 2008, and to ask how long it takes to wield a wrecking ball with finesse.

“Contrary to popular belief, ours is a very creative industry,” Black said, “there’s no room for destructive cowboys.”

The ex-iceskating judge explained he recruits most of his staff through connections in the performing arts. “My employees are all from creative backgrounds – which is crucial if you want to go places in the industry.”
