The dhf Members' Conference, whose main sponsor is Gliderol Garage & Industrial Doors Ltd, will be taking place in the National Cold War Exhibition, which opened in February 2007 and is the only place in the UK where Britain’s V Bombers: the Vulcan, Victor and Valiant, can be viewed.
The conference will comprise a series of seminars and educational workshops led by industry professionals and government representatives on topics such as legislation, industry trends and best practice in the door, gate and hardware industry. There will be a small exhibition of dhf members, guided tours of the National Cold War Exhibition and a talk by guest speaker Flt. Lt John Nichol.
Shot down during the first Gulf War in 1991, John Nichol describes himself as an ‘ordinary guy who just happened to find himself in extraordinary circumstances’. The first the world saw of RAF navigator Flight Lieutenant John Nichol was as a tortured British prisoner-of-war, beaten and humiliated by his capt
ors. The ensuing pictures were flashed around the world and became an enduring symbol of the first Gulf war.
John’s message is one of optimism, inspiration and personal motivation. His personal triumph lies in having discovered his potential to cope with extremes and achieve goals way beyond his perceived horizons. John leaves his audience in no doubt - that potential exists in all of us.
