A family-owned Goomeri business has won a prestigious Queensland award for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n

James Giles Plumbing Pty Ltd won the QGA Commercial And Industrial Gas Installation Of The Year Award for installing a large LPG gas system for an Emerald citrus company.<\/p>\n

The company was announced the winner at the 2016 Plumbing and Gas Industry Awards, which were held last Friday at the Royal International Convention Centre in Brisbane.<\/p>\n

Head of Gas Department Justin Giles said James Giles Plumbing was approached by the Emerald citrus company 2PH Citrus to design, install and commission both a gas system and gas-fired drying system to suit their production needs.<\/p>\n

The solution the Goomeri firm provided was designed to be highly energy efficient, but also easy to maintain.<\/p>\n

The awards night was hosted by the Master Plumbers\u2019 Association of Queensland and major event sponsor Tradelink.<\/p>\n

Minister for Housing and Public Works Mick de Brenni said it was great to see the local plumbing and gas industry receiving state-wide recognition.<\/p>\n

“James Giles Plumbing took the award for their state-of-the-art drying conveyer built in Emerald, providing their client with a highly efficient automated burner control system allowing large volumes of product to be handled quickly and efficiently.”<\/p>\n

Agriculture Minister Leanne Donaldson also congratulated the company for its awards night success.<\/p>\n

“James Giles Plumbing\u2019s innovative solution is helping Queensland citrus growers export top-quality products around Australia and the world,” she said.<\/p>\n

“The company is also doing its part to create jobs for Queenslanders and train the next generation of plumbers and gasfitters.”<\/p>\n

The Plumbing and Gas Industry Awards aim to highlight the hard work and dedication invested into the industry by apprentices, plumbers, gasfitters, hydraulic consultants and other industry individuals.<\/p>\n

Justin Giles also won the Tarong Power Stations Young Business Leader Award at the South Burnett Business Awards in October last year.<\/p>\n
