That is what Firman Joinery Ltd co-owner Hamish Kane said about his company winning three awards at the 2021 NZ Master Joiners Awards in Hamilton last week.
Co-owner Gary Firman agreed.
"We’ve got an excellent team, with some good, skilled tradesmen and everybody plays their part."
It was judged on design, workmanship, complexity, innovation, practicality, visual appeal and creative use of materials and colour.
The company had previously won awards in the annual joiners awards in 2010, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2018 and 2019, across four different categories.
It was the second time it had won the supreme award, which was judged across all of this year’s 193 entries and categories nationwide.
"To receive the supreme award is the ultimate accolade for our industry and to have won it for a second time is an amazing achievement for our talented team,” Mr Firman said.
Being recognised by peers as manufacturers of high quality joinery was a source of pride for the company, he said.
