Coresteel Central Plateau has won the highly-coveted title of Franchise of the Year at the annual national Coresteel Buildings Conference.
The Central Plateau franchise is owned and operated by Logan Frew and Lee Parker-Frew, who have been running the franchise together for over seven years.
“We are completely blown away to be awarded 2020's Franchise of the Year and to be recognised with the Design Excellence Award," says Parker-Frew.
"2020 presented many challenges that our team navigated with resilience and perseverance, having the support from an amazing crew of contractors and suppliers all contributing to our success."
"We would like to acknowledge and thank our clients, contractors and suppliers along with the support from the amazing team at our franchise head office."
In addition to winning Franchise of the Year, the duo also won the Design Station Excellence award.
This award is judged on a franchisee’s communication, responsiveness, professionalism and ability to provide comprehensive information, all of which they have demonstrated over the past year.
In the past year, Central Plateau has orchestrated the complete construction of many commercial and industrial buildings around their region. Some of their most notable projects include a bespoke ambulance facility for St. Johns, a custom-fit workshop for Caulfield Signs as well as a 961m2 commercial showroom for Norwood.
Coresteel Buildings specialise in the design, manufacture and construction of large-scale steel buildings in the commercial and industrial market. Unlike other competitors, Coresteel isn’t confined to set sizes due to two innovative building systems - the patented Bracketless Portal System and Tapered Box Beam. Coresteel is 100% New Zealand owned and operated, with over 25 locally-owned franchises located across the country.
