Kingman’s clients take out five awards on the National and International stage

Awards season has well and truly spoilt us at Kingman and what a month it has been. On top of the 7 awards we received at the ASGA bi-annual awards night for our signage solutions, we have also had the privilege of seeing our clients take out impressive awards on a number of projects that our factory have been working tirelessly on for over a year.

 

We are proud to say that the one thing in common with all these awards, was the Signage Contractor. 

 

MBA AWARDS

 

The recent MBA Awards (Master Builders WA) saw 4 of Kingman’s most renowned project from 2021 take out 4 awards, and one second place. 

 

Category – Best Retail Building $10 to $20 million

Winner – Broad Construction

Project – Woolworths Supermarkets – Inglewood project

 

This tricky piece of signage is just one of many projects Kingman completed for Woolworths in 2021. This particular project can be found on the bustling Beaufort Street in Inglewood. It may look like a standard illuminated Woolworth’s sign… but look closely, and you’ll see that the cladding is very unusual as it’s on a curve above a VERY busy road.

 

The engineering, precision and logistics needed for a job of this kind is what the team at Kingman pride ourselves on doing incredibly well. Thank you to Broad Construction for choosing us as the signage provider for this project. 

 

Category – Best fit out under 5 million

Winner – Northerly Group

Project – Flight Club

 

 

We are strong believers that a unique venue calls for unique branding and signage!

 

The team at Flight Club reinvented darts for the twenty-first century, they have done so using old style signage in the form of stained glass with a modern twist. The beautiful stained-glass pieces are integrated with the futuristic LED lightboxes to add artful touches to the overall fit out of the building. This was an extremely fun project to be involved in. We believe this is what happens when you get to collaborate with like minded people. Congratulations Northerly Group on a fantastic outcome. 

 

Category – Best Retail Building $100m+

Winner – Multiplex

Project – Karrinyup Shopping Centre Redevelopment

 

 

Category – Best Public Building $5 million – $10 million

Winner – Multiplex

Project – Karrinyup Shopping Centre Redevelopment

 

Kingman has a long history of delivering iconic signage projects for Multiplex, and this project was no different. Kingman’s project management team ensured a seamless delivery, through all the logistics of fabricating and installing every sign. The signage package included internal and external statutory signs, directional wayfinding signs and signage for a multi-level carpark. Included was beautiful hand-painted graphics along with all external signs and, of course, a brand new shiny 15 ½ metre tall Pylon that was designed to match their new branding.

 

Working closely with Multiplex for AMP, Kingman were on-site during this redevelopment for almost two years.

 

With over 4500+ signs installed throughout the Karrinyup redevelopment, this project was no easy feat.

 

Our biggest compliment came from Multiplex themselves who said:

 
“Kingman are the only signage company in Perth that could have carried out a job of this type!”
 

Thank you Multiplex and AMP, we look forward to working on many more iconic signage projects together in the years to come.

 

 

INTERNATIONAL STADIUM AWARDS

On the International stage, Optus Stadium took out an absolutely incredible award, winning Venue of the Year at the International Stadium Awards – an incredible achievement.

 

 

We are so pleased to have been able to play a small part in the opening of this incredible stadium. Kingman completed Optus’ entire signage package. Signage for a stadium like Optus is SO much more than the huge sky sign on the exterior of the building. With a facility that has the capacity to hold 60,000 people, things could get very confusing real quick if it wasn’t for directional signage. Signage is everywhere and without it, we would literally be lost.
