The award win was a great reward for the efforts of the team at Timberlink’s Bell Bay Mill. It was a challenging year with upgrade construction works taking place, but the team ensured that the mill’s high-tech facilities operated smoothly and without disruption for customers throughout the period.
The Bell Bay mill has undergone significant investment since the Timberlink takeover in 2013 and this award is testament to the support, vision and hard work of management and the Board as we create a world class sawmill in Tasmania.
Timberlink’s Tasmanian State Sales Manager Gareth Watson was on hand to receive the award on behalf of the business and said: “The night was a great occasion for the whole industry and it’s fantastic to come away with a big award like this.”
GM of Technical & Sustainability Dr Trevor Innes was also pleased with the win saying: “We strive as a business to be at the forefront of industry technology upgrades in order to remain competitive and to be the most sustainable business that we can be, and it is great to see our endeavours pay off”.
Timberlink would also like to congratulate its logistics partner in Tasmania, Monsons who was highly commended for excellence in the Workplace Health and Safety Management Sector.
