AUSTRALIANSUPER BSCAA NSW EXCELLENCE AWARDS
“Today is a celebration of what you do,” stated Building Service Contractors of Australia national president Terry Corby. He was effusive in his praise and respect for those at our industry’s ‘coal face’, the cleaners, when addressing the 2011 AustralianSuper BSCAA NSW Excellence Awards’ luncheon held mid-October.
“Today is about the people who really matter, the cleaners and the security guards,” he emphasised.
Held at Sydney’s Curzon Hall, the Awards’ event saw a strong industry representation comprising suppliers, BSCAA members, other industry association executives and, of course, cleaners.

In a positive gesture, the BSCAA NSW opened the Awards to all employers and their cleaners, whether BSCAA member or not.
Corby also recognised the important contribution made by sponsoring suppliers in ensuring a successful event. Again, AustralianSuper was the major sponsor, complemented by Agar, which sponsored the Company of the Year Award, and Hako Australia, which sponsored the Young Manager of the year Award.
