International recognition for BCSA Director General

On a recent visit to New Zealand, Dr Derek Tordoff, Director General of BCSA, received an award from the International Steelwork Contractors Group (ISCG). The award was for his work, over many years, in developing the market for steel construction in the UK. Presenting the award are Hennie de Clercq, Chief Executive of the South African Institute of Steel Construction (left) and Don MacDonald, Chief Executive of the Australian Steel Institute (right).

The ISCG is made up of BCSA’s sister organisations in the USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Dr Tordoff was a prime instigator of the group, which exists to share knowledge and experiences of steel construction development activities across the world.
