2023 - Winner - Premier's Regional Recognition Award 

2023 - Industry Leader Award in the Healthy and Fair Society

Industry Leader Award in the Healthy and Fair Society Project members included Uniting and ecoMaster.  A number of vulnerable households in the Barwon South-West region where the residents had someone at risk of serious illness or death from climate extremes. This was a demonstration of “cocooning” as pioneered by ecoMaster with Mildura Rural City Council in 2011. One room in each of these homes was retrofitted to ensure it remained comfortable during both summer and winter extremes. This was done through a range of measures including draught proofing, insulation, energy-efficient appliances and renewable energy. The outcomes were transformative, with participants reporting increased comfort and health, along with reduced depression and anxiety.

 

WINNER – Business of the Year 2016

Sponsored by Victorian Government

“The nominees for 2016 were really of a very high standard, and we have been delighted to learn of the trajectories and the journeys of all those businesses that we have heard from during the year. These nominees created a great deal of discussion amongst the judging panel and it bears repeating that if you were nominated through to this process, it was a hard call. On many occasions, there was just one point separating people in terms of the judging for this particular award.

However, having said that there has to be a winner. As far as the judges were concerned there was a clear winner despite the fact that there were some very good companies nominated right across the board. But the judges viewed that across a broad range of criteria for all the individual awards, this particular company was a standout.

They present unique solutions to a very common problem and they have a strong emphasis on innovation, technology and service. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner for the Business of the Year for 2016 is ecoMaster”.

 

“Everyone at ecoMaster is extremely proud and grateful to be awarded this prestigious honour. Developing a technically excellent range of products was just the start to creating outstanding retrofit solutions. Ethical advice, “wow” customer service and our commitment to quality outcomes is why we exist.  It takes years of obsessing over the details to bring that level of care to every clients’ home. We thank Hume Council and the judging panel for their vote of confidence.”

Lyn Beinat, Chief Executive Officer, ecoMaster

 

“We weren’t expected to be given such an honour today so its a wonderful thing to be acknowledged in this way. I mean we do tread a fairly difficult line in our industry and so it makes it all the more special to actually be recognised for that. And for that, we would like to say thank you very much.”

Maurice Beinat, Technical Director, ecoMaster
