REG SPIVEY DIES
Reg Spivey, a demolition contractor and dealer in reclaimed materials in Bradford, has died. He started his business in 1966, and was a founder member of the Register of Demolition and Dismantling, a rival and less institutionalised alternative to the more establishment National.Federation of Demolition Contractors. He was a Salvo supporter, and became the first dealer to have a photo ad, of the lifesize bronze head of a gorilla, which he felt at the time may have had something to do with the filming of King Kong. Robert Grimmond of Woodlands Farm Nursery and Reclamation in Surrey was one of the many old school dealers with whom Reg had a working relationship. Robert said, 'He was a good chum, a very nice man to deal with, honourable, reliable, a professional dismantler who will be missed by those who knew him.' He leaves a wife and son.
