What a fantastic night we had at the ACT and Southern NSW Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards last Friday! The event was a true celebration of the exceptional talent, craftsmanship, and innovation that define our industry.
Congratulations to all the category winners, and a big round of applause to Status Living, who took out the 2025 Home of the Year award with their ‘Icon House’ — an outstanding achievement!
I also want to acknowledge the finalists in the Apprentice of the Year category. To be recognised as a finalist by your industry peers is an incredible honour and a testament to your hard work and dedication. In the end, Mitchell McKinnon took out the top honour in a closely contested category.
Finally, thanks to all our industry partners who made the night possible. Our Major Partner in Harvey Norman Commercial ACT, and Supporting Partners in Jonox, Suburban Land Agency, Bluescope, HIA Insurance Services, Hume Doors and Timber, Big River Trade Centre, Access Canberra, Harrington Hall Lawyers, Stratco, WorkSafe ACT, and the ACT Training Fund Authority.
Keep an eye out on our social media channels for all the photos from the night!
