IT’S been a big few months at Hallam’s Wastech – from acquiring another business to opening a service centre and bringing in new trucks from Germany.
Taking home the Casey Cardinia Business of the Year Award, as well as this year’s Manufacturing Award, can now join the list.
Neil Bone accepted the honour at a gala dinner at Cranbourne Racing Club on Thursday 22 October.
“Thank you to (brother and business partner) Paul for putting up with me for 23 years,” Neil said.
“It’s the people that stand with you every day – that’s what makes a difference.”
Wastech in March won the Manufacturing Award at the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce Premier Regional Business Awards, and in June was a finalist for the Medium Manufacturer of the Year title at the Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame Awards.
