Concrete New Zealand (NZ) Chief Executive Rob Gaimster is thrilled to see the Award, which emphasises the importance and value of trade training within the concrete industry, gain momentum from its inception in 2017.
“The Concrete Industry Apprentice of the Year award is at the heart of recognising young and talented individuals within our industry.
“Building and construction is a hugely important sector in New Zealand’s economy, one which offers many different concrete career paths.
“Apprentices who are committed to a concrete vocation, as well as their own personal and professional growth, deserve to be recognised for their foresight, mahi and accomplishments,” says Rob.

“We also pride ourselves on embracing diversity and inclusion, advancing health, safety and wellbeing as key to business success, and ensuring that those who excel are rewarded.
“Those evaluating their construction career options don't need to look beyond the concrete industry, as we are eager to bring them onboard, offer support and guidance, and as the Concrete Industry Apprentice of the Year award demonstrates, celebrate their
achievements,” concludes Rob.
