ABN Training Awards

ABN Training hosts an annual Apprentice Awards Night us to acknowledge the accomplishments and contributions of the exceptional trainees and apprentices who are growing their trade skills in our programs. It’s also an opportunity to thank our dedicated host trainers, supporters and suppliers.

The development of our future tradespeople is something that we hold especially dear at ABN Group. Since 2004, we’ve had over 1,700 people go through our training program; many then continuing to work with the Group after graduating.

A massive congratulations to all our winners and nominees. The future looks bright for our industry with the high calibre of young people developing their trade.
