Friday 2nd of August is Jeans for Genes Day. A day to raise vital funds for the Children’s Medical Research Institute. Each year staff from the Perkins Group of Companies get in the spirit and don their jeans, double, triple and even quadruple denim to support this vital cause. The sad truth is that 1 in 20 kids facing a birth defect or genetic disease are used to hearing words like “incurable” or “lifelong effects”. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Right now, The Children’s Medical Research Institute is working on gene therapy to find cures for previously incurable genetic diseases. It’s not too late to get involved and help raise funds! Jump online and donate or buy some merchandise from participating retailers. Every dollar counts!
Perkins Builders are delighted to announce our success at the Master Builders-Bankwest Excellence in Construction Awards held over the weekend.
NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. This year the theme for NAIDOC Week is Voice. Treaty. Truth.
As we work towards Closing the Gap, as per our Indigenous Engagement Plan, Perkins Builders will be participating in NAIDOC Week at the Deadly Jobs Expos at Perth’s largest NAIDOC Week celebration on Thursday 11th July at Ashfield Reserve, the NAIDOC Family Day and at the Bunbury NAIDOC Family Fun Day on Friday 12th at the Bunbury Trotting Track. These expos will provide information and opportunity for Indigenous people on the workforce, amongst a fun day for the family, with many other activities to participate in.
Let’s work together for a shared future.
The Perkins Group of Companies has joined forces with X Trial in a sponsorship that will help grow the X Trial Australian Championship and develop the grass roots sport of Trial.
What is X Trial you ask? It’s like parkour, but on a motorbike! This sport is one of intense skill and tact; riders are pitted against five obstacle courses and are racing against time. The riders have to negotiate through a course and ride massive earth moving tyres, concrete pillars, logs, skip bins and much more, all with only ninety seconds on the clock!
Only eight of the best riders get an invitation to test themselves on the most difficult and intense course in Australia.
“The Perkins Group of Companies is very proud to be associated with the WA leg of the Australian X Trial Championship. We hope our involvement will encourage local riders to participate in this exciting sport as a stepping stone to the international stage”
“This is more than just a sponsorship, its support for the sport and the series” said X Trial promoter Neil Price. The deal comes as the championship spreads its wings, with round one in Perth, July 20th at HBF Stadium.
The Perkins X Trial Championship is being held at HBF Stadium, Mount Claremont, Perth on Saturday 20th July. Tickets are available to purchase from Ticketmaster.
On Saturday 29th June the Australian Institute of Building Awards were held in Perth; Perkins Builders are delighted to report Richard, one of our Project Managers was recipient of an AIB Award, for Commercial Construction $1 Million to $25 Million for his work on the Bannister Downs Dairy Creamery (BDD).
The BDD is a unique, state of the art complex that integrates agriculture, industry and tourism into an all-in-one milk production facility allowing high quality produce and a clear, transparent process from grass to gate, establishing a unique point of difference compared with other dairies in Australia. The overall design of BDD is an integrated complex of buildings, services and vehicular zones container within an overall site footprint.
Congratulations again Richard, and to the whole and the Perkins team for their work on this project!
Recently, some vile and racist comments were made about a young, indigenous West Coast Eagles
player on social media.
These abhorrent comments have been responded to by the West Coast Eagles with an amazing demonstration of unity, a message not only to stand against racism but to teach it’s importance; all supported by the wider AFL community.
As the company constructing West Coast’s new Training and Administration Centre at Lathlain Park and as a company with a firm belief of fairness and equality for everyone at the core of our business, we choose to show our support, we choose to make a stand.
Perkins Builders and our dedicated sub-contractor team are proud to stand with the West Coast Eagles.
We stand against racism. #whenwillitend
