The first Think Brick Master Class a tremendous success |
The first Think Brick Masterclass has drawn to a close and been haled by all as a tremendous success. The 100 plus guests were treated to 11 enthusiastic and well delivered speeches at the graduation dinner on Saturday the 27th of February at The Mint venue in Macquarie Street Sydney.
The Master Class is a Think Brick initiative with major sponsors the ABBTF and The Master Builders Association of NSW. It is an intensive 5 day live in course for young bricklayers that deals with leadership training, team building skills and culminates in the participants dividing into 3 teams to create 3 unique structures designed by 3 of Australia’s leading architects. Those that were at the Chowder Bay site on Sunday would have witnessed a truly unique experience when 3 teams of young skilled bricklayers interfaced with renowned architects unified in a hands on experience to deliver what had become a shared vision. The Think Brick Master Class is possibly one of the most innovative and cutting edge concepts to be delivered in the Australian bricklaying industry for many years. The MCA applauds the initiatives of the sponsors and will certainly play a greater role in future years to come and would encourage other Masonry Contractors Associations around the country to do the same.
Congratulations must go to Linda Ginger and her team along with the following course graduates : Adrian Callipari from Victoria , Brenton Wells from New South Wales, Gemma Blakemore from West Australia, Jarrad Smith from West Australia, Joe Reed from Victoria, John Claxton from Victoria, Kyle Goff from West Australia, Kyle Murray from West Australia, Nigel Croke from New South Wales, Taurean Thompson from Queensland and Will Briggs from Queensland you all served our industry proud.
