The Winners 2008
ENGINEERING FIRM TAKES OUT TOP AWARD AT THE HANSON SWAN BUSINESS AWARDS 2008
For 30 years McDowall Affleck Pty Ltd have been known for the quality and practicality of engineering solutions and this coupled with their ability to diversify to become a multi-disciplined enterprise has enabled them to secure Swan’s most prestigious business award for 2008.
McDowall Affleck Pty Ltd have won the Swan Business of the Year category of the Hanson Swan Business Awards 2008 that recognises business excellence in the Swan Region.
During 30 years of operation McDowall Affleck has grown from a consulting engineering practice in Midland, with only civil and structural engineering services to offering design, project management and construction services to the fields of mechanical, structural, civil and land development engineering as well as exporting their services and high end technology to Asia and Europe.
The Business Person of the Year for 2008 was Brian Hunt. From Brian Hunt Pty Ltd in 1978 to Hunt & Rodgers Pty Ltd to Statewest Surveying & Planning to Midland Project Management, Brian has become a highly regarded and well respected planner in Western Australia. His commitment to the Swan region, the realisation of Midland as a vibrant centre and the Swan Valley as a premium wine growing area has led him to participate in a wide range of voluntary roles to which he brings great experience and expertise. His recreational adventures are legendary and his newest venture with his wife Heather, Entopia Wines, further cements his commitment to our region.
A total of 12 Awards were presented this year and included the new category of Contribution to Exports, with award winners coming from commercial areas throughout the Swan region. Sandalford Wines have been a recipient of these awards each year since 2004 and both Jimmy Dean’s Diner and Chesters Restaurant have won their respective categories two years in a row.
