2017 Readymix Awards
Friday, 1 December 2017
 October’s concrete industry conference set a new benchmark by attracting 371 delegates, which eclipses the previous best gathering (368 delegates) at the Wairakei conference in 2014. Organisers have received excellent feedback about this year’s event, particularly about the quality of the technical programme.
2017 Plant Audit Scheme Supreme Award winners were Allied Concrete’s Tairua Plant and Terry’s Concrete Te Horo Plant. Quality assurance was the primary reason for the establishment of the Ready Mixed Concrete Association and the development of the Plant Audit Scheme many decades ago, and the independently verified scheme remains vitally important.
The judging criteria for this Award acknowledge consistent high performance. The 2017 winners were selected from a group of plants that had received Excellence Awards in at least 4 of the last 5 years. The judges highlighted the fact that these two plants received Excellence Awards in each of the last 5 consecutive years. They demonstrate a stead-fast attention to detail by the concrete production team in a time when the spotlight is firmly on “quality”. The plants are an example to all other ready mixed concrete producers across New Zealand.
The 2017 Best Conference Stand Award was taken home by Danely. Competition amongst the trade stands was fierce this year with several companies going the extra mile to display their products and services in an engaging manner. The judges felt that Danley struck the perfect balance between an intriguing display and technical details; this was complimented by a good number of proficient staff on hand to answer any questions.
