The Company was incorporated on 6 July 1976 as the demolition and decommissioning arm of the C.F. Booth Group. Demex provided specialist demolition services, site clearance, asbestos removal, and the recovery of scrap materials from industrial and commercial sites. Demex served clients across the industrial and commercial sectors with services provided to long-standing national construction partners. Amongst its highprofile projects was the demolition of the Don Valley Stadium.

Demex performed most of its services on client sites, with its headquarters in Rotherham being used primarily as an office and storage yard.

At the date of our appointment, the Company employed 28 members of staff and had two directors (the “Directors”); James Henry Booth and Jason Kenneth Booth.
