“These awards are a chance to recognise and celebrate the amazing people and companies operating in the forest contracting sector, and the other businesses and organisations that are supported them,” AFCA General Manager Tim Lester said.
“Every two years we induct up to 10 AFCA members into our Hall of Fame, and further recognise the significant contribution of one of our Hall of Fame members with an Industry Icon Award.
“With our Service to Industry Awards we take the opportunity to recognise up to 5 individuals, businesses or organisations. It’s our way of saying thanks and acknowledging these important contributions.
“We will also celebrate achievements in the fields of operational performance and safety practice. Contracting businesses and workers are innovating all the time, finding better, more efficient and safer ways to get the job done.
“AFCA is also proudly continuing our other individual categories to highlight achievements of an incredible female leader and of the next generation.
“Thanks also to our award sponsors – ForestFit, Forestworks, Forico, John Deere and the Forest Research Institute. Their support makes these Awards possible.
“These Awards are a way to demonstrate the great work being done in and for forest contracting, so make sure you get your nominations in!” Mr Lester concluded.
Nominations are being accepted online through the AFCA website at www.afca.asn.au
The Gala Dinner and Awards night will be held on 14 November at the Tramsheds in Launceston, Tasmania.
