Concrete New Zealand (NZ) Chief Executive Rob Gaimster believes the rationale for establishing the award in 2017 remains relevant – primarily the huge need for skilled concrete workers, as well as ensuring that those thinking about a career in construction are aware of the rewards on offer through the concrete industry.
“Within the construction sector, our industry has always found it difficult to attract and hold-on-to qualified workers. Over recent years this has become more of an issue with activity across residential, commercial and civil areas remaining buoyant and therefore offering prospective workers plenty of options.”
