QUEENSLAND'S SMALL EMPLOYER OF THE YEAR 2019

To be considered for this award was a great honor and privilege.

Twice as profitable as other similar companies within the industry, Kennedy’s Timbers now has 600% lower staff turnover, three times lower staff absenteeism, fewer lost time injury days and one of the lowest Work Cover premiums in the Queensland manufacturing sector. The average length of service of staff has substantially increased from 1 to 6.7 years.

The future represents the best opportunity for everyone and if you invest in your people in training the sky is the limit.” Founder, Michael Kennedy

FINALIST FOR ENVIRONMENT & SUSTAINABILITY EXCELLENCE AWARD

Moreton Bay Region Business & Excellence Innovation Awards 2018

Kennedy’s were recognised as a finalist in this category because of our solution of recycled timber being sent to landfill by establishing a world class recycling timber manufacturing plant and developing industry standards.

INNOVATIONS IN SUSTAINABILITY SUPPLIER AWARD

20th Anniversary of Energex Supplier Quality Awards 2010

Energex recognised Kennedy’s timbers work in recycling their old poles and cross arms to sell as recycled timber. This process was extended to short length poles, further reducing the amount of waste that would otherwise go to landfill and reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
