Whangarei businessman Wayne Hill, director of Hill Construction, was presented a Distinction Award at the recent Coresteel Buildings national conference.

"Wayne has been an instrumental franchisee in terms of pushing the Coresteel product to its full capabilities," said Haemish Reid, Coresteel Buildings NZ general manager. "His construction wisdom and passionate vision set him aside from many. Within the Coresteel group he continues to be a great advocate and mentor."

Mr Reid said Coresteel Buildings' Northland operation had become a dominant player in the region's construction market and performed consistently for many years, because of Mr Hill's drive and determination.

"I have no doubt that the systems and processes that Wayne applied in the earlier years of the business will certainly continue to be upheld and bring success for business partners James Senescall and Simon Eilering," Mr Reid said.

Coresteel Buildings Northland won Franchise of the Year in 2013 and 2015, was runner-up in 2014, and took out the Overall Excellence Award in 2014.

The franchise has also won the Highest Volume of Sales Award for six consecutive years.

Wayne Hill founded Hill Construction more than 30 years ago. In 2009 Hill Construction bought the Coresteel Northland franchise. In 2013 Hill Construction also purchased the Coresteel Buildings Bay of Plenty franchise, based in Tauranga.
