We’re excited to announce the winner of our recent Standout Team Member competition, where employers were invited to nominate an individual who goes above and beyond in their role. After receiving a fantastic range of entries from businesses across the region, one nomination stood out for its heartfelt praise and clear recognition of exceptional talent — congratulations to Abbey from Starling Joinery & Building!
Abbey, a second-year apprentice studying carpentry and joinery, was nominated by her employer Dale Niblett, who spoke highly of her professionalism, skill, and dedication. With just a few months to go until she qualifies, Abbey has already made a significant impact within the company.
“Abbey continues to excel at any task that she is given,” Dale shared. “As a company, we can rely on Abbey to be punctual and produce work to a high standard when given jobs to manage by herself. Abbey has become a true asset to the company.”
Abbey’s recognition is a testament not only to her own hard work and growth but also to the important role apprentices play in the future of skilled trades. Her achievement also shines a spotlight on the growing presence of women in construction — a field where female representation is still growing, but gaining momentum thanks to trailblazers like Abbey.
By consistently demonstrating high standards, initiative, and a strong work ethic, Abbey is not just building a promising career for herself, she’s helping reshape perceptions of what a construction professional looks like. Her success is an inspiration to other young women considering a career in the trades, showing that with the right support and determination, anything is possible.
We extend our warmest congratulations to Abbey for this well-deserved recognition and to Dale and the team at Starling Joinery & Building for fostering such exceptional talent.
Well done, Abbey! We can’t wait to see what you achieve next!
