The 67th Annual AWCI Conference – Port Douglas, Qld

67th Annual AWCI Conference

Wallboard Tools was pleased to take part in the successful and exciting Annual AWCI Conference (21st -24th – Port Douglas, Qld).   It was an action packed 3 days with activities, presentations, wildlife experiences and of course the Gala Dinner.

Steve Guest (Account Manager – Qld & NT) proudly flew the Wallboard Tools flag manning our booth at the conference.  He enjoyed his time speaking about some great new Wallboard Tools products like Trim-Tex Backerboard at the new Rubber Grip Stainless Series Joint Knives.  He awarded one lucky winner with a new Wallpro Collated Screwgun as part of our conference giveaway.

Steve was also able to catch up with “Win a Trip with Trim-Tex” winner Adrian Russo to present him with his $500 spending money and check in on how he was enjoying his prize and time at the AWCI Conference.

Wallboard Tools was pleased to once again support the annual apprenticeship challenge.   This years competition was one of the best ever with all the participants exhibiting a high level of skill and workmanship.  The two best apprentices in each state (including participants from New Zealand) were selected to compete in the challenge in Port Douglas. This year the challenge was to build a structure from scratch with stud and track, sheeting, setting and exterior cladding/rendering.  Each of the up-and-coming tradesmen participating in the challenge was presented with a selection of new Wallboard hand tools.  Special congratulations goes to the Tasmanian team for taking out this years challenge.

Thanks to everyone involved in organising the conference and Wallboard Tools is looking forward to participating again in 2013.
