Held at the Hotel Realm in Canberra, the Excellence Awards recognise the successful projects of 2016/17 across the electrical industry in a broad range of categories. The finalists include contractors, suppliers, educators and government representatives.
“We saw some great entries this year. It was a particularly hard year for the judges and we would like to thank everyone who went to the trouble of submitting a project,” says NECA ACT executive director Oliver Judd.
