Inclusion, perspective, and what it means to build well —  together.

Our quarterly Huddles are a core part of how we connect as a business. On June 20, 2025, we gathered for our Half Time Huddle, with site teams from Ballarat to Sandringham joining in person. This time, as part of our Respectful Support & Inclusion initiatives, we welcomed a new format. Staff who don’t usually speak in front of a crowd were briefed by department leads and given the chance to present. What followed was a refreshing shift in language, perspective, and energy — and a reminder of the value that comes from seeing things through a different lens.

What We’re Building

Across the business, things are moving.

• In Construction, Design Manager Julia Crivelli and Project Coordinator at Wembley Hill, Will Lord gave a cross-view of progress across key projects.

• In New Business, Development PM Kat Bencic shared our New Business and Cost Planning pipeline on behalf of the New Business Team.

• And through video, we stepped onto live sites: from Trentham and Bradmill, to Edition Bankside, Wembley Hill, Lyons Place, CP2, and our Flux project in Brighton.

Moments That Matter

Some milestones aren’t structural — but they hold the weight all the same.

• We’ve now raised over $500,000 raised through the Zoe Kennedy Foundation. A moment of scale, shared by James Hetherington and Tilly Field, built through years of contribution.

• In People & Culture, we looked at where we’ve leaned in — from IWD and The Push-Up Challenge to upcoming programs in strengths-based leadership and disc flex.

We also welcomed new team members across construction, coordination, and content — including a cadet with a VFL side hustle and a storyteller helping shape how we share what we do.

Awards & Recognition

Recognition doesn’t just land at handover. We mark it in the day-to-day — and this Huddle, we did exactly that.

• Integrity → Phoenix Brown, Cadet at Trentham
  Phoenix was the first male team member to put his hand up and speak during our IWD campaign — a gesture of quiet leadership and a strong signal from one of our youngest team members.

• Excellence → Rowan Snashall, Site Supervisor at Edition Bankside
  Rowan brings rigour to delivery. He’s consistent, thorough, and unflinching in the face of complexity — and it shows in the standard of his work.

• Happiness → David Pennicott, Site Team
  David’s the one whose smile arrives before he does. Good energy, even on tough days — and someone whose presence genuinely lifts a site.

• Impact → Kim Choo, New Business
  Seven years in, Kim’s contribution continues to shape the business. From tenders to relationships, his impact is cumulative — and unmistakable.

We also celebrated a major milestone: 10 years of Nikki Brown.

Nikki’s seen the business through multiple chapters — and helped write them. As Finance Manager, she’s guided us through growth, challenge, and uncertainty (pandemic included), with calm and clarity. A foundational presence, and a quiet force behind many of the wins we’ve had along the way.

Looking Ahead

The Huddle isn’t a report card. It’s a reset. A reminder that what we’re building is not just physical — it’s cultural, relational, and constantly evolving.

We’re halfway through the year. But far from finished.
