CICA SOUTH AUSTRALIA
ENDING 2021 ON A HIGH IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA The South Australian branch of The Crane Industry Council of Australia closed out 2021 in style. CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS WITH OUR members and recognising industry excellence are a wonderful way to end the year, and 2021 was no exception. 2021 was a challenging year for many, so the opportunity to get together and celebrate was even more enjoyable. CICA SA places a high value on these awards – they play an important role in recognising the efforts of operators, riggers, trainees, and achievers in our industry as well as the companies that invest time in skilling and supporting the nominees and winners. I congratulate all those nominated for the awards and especially congratulate the winners of the 2021 Industry Excellence Awards. AWARDS THIS YEAR WERE PRESENTED TO: Crane Industry High Achiever – Crane Operator 2021 Dean Bruce – Boom Logistics Crane Industry High Achiever – Crane Operator 2021 David Ferrari – Ferrari Bros.

out of their busy schedules to make this a success. To the companies of these nominees, thank you so very much for your engagement and support of this awards night. Thank you to our marketers, who also supported the night. During the evening, we also recognised the work of Stephen Holmes, who has now retired from the SA secretariat role to drive off into the sunset, caravan in tow. I met Steve many years ago when I first started out in the crane industry. Steve was a great asset to the industry. I personally valued his support and would lean on Steve at times for his expertise and his guidance. Steve has been a great secretariat. Assisting me in my role as chairperson, he contributed beyond his role and provided valuable input in decision making , along with the steering committee. We wish Steve and Sue all the best in their new ventures and hope to catch up with them soon.
CICA SA places a high value on these awards.
I am looking forward to our next awards evening and, as we emerge from this pandemic that has thrown us challenges at every corner, it is my sincere hope that, by the next Christmas function, we’ll have left lockdowns and mandates behind and have come off the back of an awesome National Conference in Adelaide. Hope to see you there. Marcus Rigney Chairman CICA SA March/April 2022 CAL / 23
