“Staff morale is a big one, so is

training young guys who haven’t had

great opportunities” explains Hayden

Newland, “I like to give young people

the opportunity to grow and make

something of themselves, something

that everyone can be proud of. Training

and giving back is very important as I

was given the same opportunity.”

Awards and recognition

Newland

represented

Queensland in the 2004 World Skills

Trade Fair competition and finished

third in a field of eight. Additionally,

three of his projects have been

recognised with awards ranging from

bathroom of the year to house of the

like it’s being done by professionals.

We like to have it looking good at

every stage.”
