We are delighted to announce that Coffey Testing has been honoured with the Proudly Australian Award for 2024. This recognition celebrates their commitment to Australian ownership, innovation and community engagement in the construction materials testing industry.

For over 65 years, Coffey Testing has operated Australian-wide, strategically placing each of their locations in every state of Australia (excluding Tasmania), ensuring optimal service coverage for some of the nation's most notable contractors. Their dedication to supporting the Australian economy is evident through several key initiatives:

  • Providing testing services for remote and rural areas through site laboratories, annex laboratories, and a mobile trailer laboratory in Western Australia.
  • Actively employing local talent and prioritising Australian-owned suppliers whenever possible.

In an industry where few companies are 100% Australian-owned, Coffey Testing stands out as a beacon of integrity and reliability. By keeping all operations within Australia and delivering results within a 24-48 hour window, they ensure the quality and integrity of testing results, providing project managers with peace of mind and ensuring compliance with construction guidelines.

Being Australian-owned is not just a business strategy for Coffey Testing; it's deeply embedded in the values of their people. They prioritise creating a safe and inclusive environment where local talent can thrive and contribute to the success of the company.

Their commitment to excellence is reflected in their core values:

  • Doing The Right Thing: Acting with integrity and conducting business ethically.
  • Bringing Your ‘A’ Game: Providing high levels of expertise and delivering quality outcomes.
  • Work Ethic Wins: Working hard to exceed clients’ expectations consistently.
  • One Team: Building strong client relationships through effective communication and respect.
  • Finding A Better Way: Valuing client feedback and continuously improving processes and systems.

Coffey Testing's contributions to local projects further demonstrate their dedication to the Australian economy and communities. Examples include their involvement in the expansion of the Angurugu Territory Families, Housing and Communities Office and the North Rockhampton Sewage Treatment Plant Project, both of which aim to cater to the needs of growing communities and improve infrastructure.

Their Australian ownership is not just a point of difference; it's a cornerstone of their identity. Coffey Testing actively promotes their Australian-owned status through various marketing channels, sponsorships, and partnerships, emphasising their commitment to supporting the national economy and fellow Australian-owned businesses.

Looking ahead, Coffey Testing remains steadfast in their mission to highlight the importance of being Australian-owned. Through ongoing initiatives such as internal training academies, indigenous procurement strategies, and transparent communication with stakeholders, they continue to set the standard for Australian-owned businesses in the construction materials testing industry.

We extend our sincerest congratulations to Coffey Testing on winning the Proudly Australian Award for 2024 and commend them for their outstanding contributions to the Australian economy and community.
