Member for Burnett Stephen Bennett is on the hunt for ‘Bundy’s Best Tradie’ and has launched a competition to find them.

Form Direct Bundaberg has come on board with the local competition that offers the winner a $500 gift voucher.

Mr Bennett is encouraging residents to nominate someone who they think deserves to wear the Best Tradie Crown.

“There are thousands of tradies and small businesses across the Burnett, and I may be a little bias, but I know we have some of the best in the country,” he said.

“We all have a favourite tradie, the one who is always on time, never leaves a mess, and goes that extra mile to do a great job.

“I spent decades in the building industry and definitely met some absolutely brilliant men and women.

“I’ve never claimed to be the best chippy in town but there are plenty out there doing great work who I would vouch for and who deserve to wear the Best Tradie Crown.

“We rely on our tradesmen and women to help us out at odd times of the day or night and it’s high time they receive the recognition they deserve.

“I’m running this Nominate a Tradie Competition to reward a hard-working tradie with a $500 Gift Voucher to be redeemed at Form Direct Bundaberg.”

Form Direct Director Peter Phillips said it’s a great encouragement for those tradies who work tirelessly to keep Bundy’s construction industry alive and well.

“These tradies deserve to be rewarded for their efforts and this is a great opportunity to commend them on doing a great job and going beyond what is required for the job,” he said.

“The industry deserves to be recognized and applauded for their efforts and this is a great way to celebrate all tradies efforts.”
