Joining forces for talent: McKay Sponsors 30 Under 30 Awards in Defence Industry

With a long-standing history of successful relationships with The Royal New Zealand Navy and The Royal Australian Navy, we are proud to extend our support to the ADM 30 under 30 Awards, an innovative initiative focused on acknowledging the outstanding achievements of young professionals across various career paths within the defence sector.

The ADM 30 under 30 Awards encompass a range of categories that highlight different areas within the industry. These categories include communications and marketing, engineering, legal/contracting, operations, HR and recruitment, project management, technical trade/manufacturing, and team leadership. By recognising excellence in these categories, the awards aim to inspire and foster the next generation of talent in the defence industry.

As a leading defence contractor, with a dedicated team operating within the Devonport Navy Base. McKay is no stranger to delivering innovative and high-quality solutions to meet the evolving needs of the defence industry. With an extensive portfolio of successful projects and a track record of excellence, our expertise spans various areas, including engineering, project management, and manufacturing, aligning perfectly with the careers highlighted in the ADM 30 under 30 Awards. We are also fortunate to have many ex-servicemen and women working in our Devonport team, bringing valuable experience and insights from their time in the defence forces.

McKay Marine Manager, Martin Cameron shared:

‘’We are truly grateful for the opportunity to sponsor the 30 under 30 awards. It allows us to not only strengthen our existing partnerships within the industry but also gives us a platform to champion innovation, which is at the core of everything we do. We believe in recognising and supporting young talent, and sponsoring these awards allows us to do just that. We are thrilled to be part of this inaugural initiative that celebrates excellence and pushes the boundaries of the defence industry.”

As we prepare to celebrate the brightest and most innovative young minds in defence, we look forward to continuing to support the defence industry across New Zealand and Australia.
