Jon Stoddart receives Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2022
Brisbane Lord Mayor’s Business Awards
We are thrilled to announce Managing Director of Stoddart Group, Jon Stoddart, was recently honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2022 Brisbane Lord Mayor’s Business Awards. The awards recognise outstanding contributions of local business to the Brisbane economy. The Lifetime Achievement award has only ever been presented to a select few.
History
The business was founded in 1959 by Jon’s father Tom Stoddart and Tom's brother Albert, as a steel fabrication manufacturer, specialising mainly in hot water systems and steel bathroom fittings.
By the 1990’s, a new era dawned under the mantle of Stoddart Group and with Jon’s leadership the newly formed company ventured into residential building materials, broadening its product line, using a new supply and install model. Jon has been the chief innovator and motivator behind the growing company for the past 45 years.
Strong Growth and Expansion
With a company mission all about creating solutions to deliver a better way to build, Jon is continually looking at ways to build faster, stronger, better, and exploring ways to support builders to improve processes.
His dedication to this purpose has seen the company evolve and thrive to a business employing over 600 staff and 2000+ subcontractors. With 31 branches nationally, the company services over 30,000 new homes a year – one quarter of all new homes built across Australia.
Upon receiving his award Jon acknowledged the support of his family and the team at Stoddart Group, stating, “I am truly humbled to have received this award and accept it on behalf of my family and the amazing team at Stoddart Group who work incredibly hard every day to provide our customers with solutions delivering a better way to build.”
Building the Future of Building
As Australia’s largest supplier and installer of building products, Stoddart Group continues to be a family run company and is an integral part of today’s housing industry – not just as a supplier of essential components such as steel framing, roofing, garage doors, external cladding, insulation, and internal plasterboard, but also as an innovator and a driver of change for the construction industry.
The company’s primary operating philosophy is “Building the Future of Building” with the aim of helping Australian builders deliver better-performing, more environmentally responsible houses.
Congratulations to Jon for this well-deserved Lifetime Achievement award. A hard earned and well deserved recognition!
