Beau Macklin, Macklin Plumbing & Excavation

Nominated by Narelle Simson

The best plumber around. This hard working young guy runs his own business Macklin Plumbing & Excavation. He’s friendly, honest, reliable, and strives for perfection in his work. You won’t be disappointed, just a genuine, down to earth nice guy who takes pride in his work. The best!

Tysen Urry

Nominated by Kerrod Martorella

It has to be the fire man himself! Working hard long days as long as I have know him. 12 hour shifts and straight into rugby training as well. Not a lot he can’t do.

Matty Neave, Shoreside Plumbing

Nominated by Chloe Ferguson

He never stops! He’s got a great family business and is an all round amazing guy. Gets the job done faster and better then anyone else.

Matt Rogers, Hot Rock Granite

Nominated by Janet Culpitt

I recommend Matt Rogers. Rebuilding not only a factory but also a business after factory burns to the ground on Boxing Day, not just for. himself, but for all those who work with him to ensure no one loses their job and for keeping clients informed and meeting their commitments however possible.

Baden Knight, Smart Chill Air Conditioning & Refrigeration

Nominated by Shanelle King-Massey

If only I had a list of all the late night call outs, Christmas Eve emergencies, missing his own birthday event for emergency call-outs ... and he has never complained once! His customers are top priority, even if it means working from 6am-11pm for a client’s comfort during an event, just like last week. Thumbs up to this hard working father of two.

Daniel Weuffen, iPlumb Solutions - Plumbing & Maintenance

Nominated by Ashley Forster

We had a tricky job that was like trying to find a needle in a hay stack but it didn’t defeat Daniel (like it did most other plumbers) it made him more determined. He found the problem and was fixed in no time! Best plumber by a long shot! Very deserving of this title.

Craig Rideout, Coastline Projects

Nominated by Garry Arry

If you want a job done properly and to perfection then he is the go to man. None of these half completed rush jobs where finishes are that of a rookie. All jobs are completed like they are being done on his property. Everything from ground up builds, renos, concrete. Couldn’t recommend him to enough people.

Joe Driessens, AMP’D Electrical & Solar

Nominated by Michelle Jubb-Peni

Joe Driessens from AMP’D Electrical & Solar is fantastic. He completes his work in timely, clean and tidy fashion and is great if kids are about. We have had a few jobs completed by him and will always call him for future jobs we require done.

Scott Leppier, Homes for the Future

Nominated by Amber Harrison

Without a doubt not only a brilliant “tradie” Craftsman – a brilliant man whom goes above and beyond! Hands down needs to be recognised!

Nick Owens, Crystal Waters Plumbing & Drainage

Nominated by Andy Baker

Found him through recommendation and must say never met a more honest and sincere plumber in my life. Truly professional, trustworthy. Every job he’s ever done for me is such a good finish, and doesn’t leave us feeling like I just paid a deposit on his new car or boat! ... When every other plumber starts the conversation with an ‘Oooh’ or a ‘The problem is ....’, Nick will come look and give an honest answer even if it means he doesn’t earn money from it. Can’t recommend him enough.

Brendan Osman, Scorpio Tiling

Nominated by Tianna Clements

Brendan Osman from Scorpio Tiling is very professional and helpful. Great family business.

Joshua Whiting, Cooltech Refrigeration

Nominated by Rod Whiting

Totally committed to his clients and has a work ethic that all tradies should copy. His thoroughness, neatness and attention to detail are second to none. These are some of the reasons why Joshua is the Gold Coast’s best tradie.

James Devlin, Prostart Plumbing

Nominated by Jesse Perry

Professional, efficient and great knowledge all things plumbing. Was happy to go above and beyond to help out and give sound advice for potential future modifications to our first family home.

Nik Ryan, Ryan’s Shade Sails

Nominated by Tiahna Rex

Hands down takes the most pride in his work and his customers!

Mark Hingle, MDH Electrical

Nominated by Jeff Stenner

A great electrician, good bloke and provides a flawless service.
