Date set for 2020 Green Triangle Timber Industry Awards
The Green Triangle Timber Industry Awards (GTTIA) committee are pleased to announce that the 2020 Awards will be celebrated at The Barn, Mount Gambier on Friday the 30th of October. The awards follow on from the outstanding success of the inaugural Green Triangle Timber Industry Awards (GTTIA) in 2018 and even more successful event in 2019.
The awards recognise individuals and companies in the Green Triangle timber industry for their dedication to best practise, continuous improvement and excellence in their roles and businesses.
The GTTIA committee consists of Adrian Flowers of Tabeel Trading (Chair), Marcel Griffiths of HVP Plantations (Secretary), Tammy Whitehead of Glenara Transport (Treasurer), Sharon Freyer of Qube Ports, Roland Freyer of South West Fibre, Paul Hartung of OFO Wood Products, Daniel Rosenthal of Timberlands Pacific, Hayley Elkington of C3 and Tim Benny of Qube Ports.
With some new faces on the committee in 2020, they comprise a mix of timber industry and regional representatives that have come together to create a platform for celebrating the industry. The next stage for the committee is to finalise the award categories for 2020 which are being updated in response to industry feedback from 2019. From there the committee will once again be looking to secure sponsors for the industry event that stands to applaud its skilled workforce and business champions.
According to GTTIA Chairman, Adrian Flowers “We are thankful for the sponsors who serve our forestry industry across the Green Triangle. Without the sponsors enthusiastic support the event would not be possible and the many companies and individuals who nominated a business or person could not be recognised for the amazing contribution they have made to our industry.”
