Industry Dinner

The Industry Gold Medal

Awarding of the Gold Medal

2012 will be the 106th awarding of the Master Plumbers and Mechanical Contractors Association of NSW’s Gold Medal.

The Association’s Gold Medal winner is selected by a panel of the Association’s Executive Committee from the top 5–7 apprentices who achieved the highest passes in Stages I–III of the Certificate III Plumbing, Draining and Gasfitting throughout the State. The applicants provide a summary of why they believe they should be the successful recipient, which is followed by an interview process of  short-listed candidates.

The Gold Medal is forged from solid gold and is engraved with the Association’s logo Hygeia, the Greek Goddess of Health, and is one of the oldest building industry related excellence awards offered by an Industry Association.

The Gold Medal was first presented in 1906 to H. Macklin. Notable recipients include former Presidents C.W. Wymer and T.C. Helsby. The Gold Medal continues the honoured tradition of the acknowledgement of excellence in the plumbing industry, especially at the trade level.
