THE President of Master Builders ACT, Valdis Luks, says Kirk Coningham is the Association’s new Executive Director.
“Kirk brings a wealth of skills and experience to the role having served in senior positions in the public and private sectors, most recently in the commercial construction sector,” Valdis said.
“Raised in the ACT, Kirk understands the vital role Canberra’s building and construction industry plays in growing the economy and creating jobs in our community.
“The Board is looking forward to Kirk building on the work of John Miller and leading the Master Builders team of professionals to the next level as the voice of Canberra’s nearly $3 billion building and construction industry.”
Mr. Coningham said he was ‘thrilled’ to be taking the helm of the ACT’s building and construction industry peak body as Master Builders moved from strength to strength and paid tribute to the departing John Miller.
“John has done an outstanding job over the past eight years maintaining the position of Master Builders as the leading building industry voice on issues vital to the industry, the Canberra economy and the community,” he said.
“John’s leadership has seen Master Builders continue to lead in advocating measures to ease housing affordability pressures such as cutting ACT Government red and green tape. He has stood up for the skills and expertise of Canberra’s builders in the delivery of community infrastructure.”
Mr. Coningham will commence on 11th March 2015.
