Sydney Build Expo Highlights Industry Partnerships
Fast Labour Hire joined forces with Empowered Women in Trades (EWIT) to promote workforce inclusion at the Sydney Build Expo, Australia’s largest construction event. This collaboration seeks to increase the visibility and representation of women in the trades industry.n
Operating across five Australian states, Fast Labour Hire has provided skilled labour for various sectors since 2013. The company’s participation in the expo aligns with its strategy to enhance its national presence and engage with industry leaders.n
Amanda Tregenza, Project and Culture Lead at Fast Labour Hire, engaged in discussions, podcasts, and networking at the event. She explained that the Sydney Build Expo fosters genuine connections and boosts industry confidence through such initiatives.n
Championing Women’s Roles in Tradesn
The partnership between Fast Labour Hire and EWIT focuses on tangible industry presence for women in trades. Melinda Davis, General Manager at EWIT, highlighted the role of industry partnerships in driving cultural change.n
Davis remarked, “Having Fast Labour Hire alongside us at Sydney Build is exactly the kind of industry presence that moves the needle. It sends a clear signal: that inclusion in the trades is being backed by the companies that actually place workers on sites.”n
Since its inception, Fast Labour Hire has expanded its operations across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, and Western Australia. Amanda Tregenza noted her experience, “I’ve never been naturally comfortable walking into new rooms alone or speaking publicly. But last week felt different. Sydney Build Expo pushed me well outside my comfort zone in the best way.”n
Fast Labour Hire and EWIT aim to foster a culture for women in trades and labour that transcends policy, focusing on presence and visibility in the industry. The culture they promote targets floors, stages, and conversations defining the industry.n
