Last Friday it was NECA NSW’s time to recognise the best electrical and communication contractors in the state at the Excellence Awards held at the Star Event Centre in front of 670 attendees.

The awards were presented in ten categories, covering projects valued from under $1 million to greater than $8 million.

“This has been an exceptional year for NSW in terms of the variety of projects and the challenges our contractors have faced across commercial, communications, energy efficiency, industrial and domestic projects,” says NECA NSW executive director Oliver Judd.

“It was difficult for the judges to shortlist the finalists as they evaluated all the excellent projects.
