Five members honoured at the CIV Hall of Fame
The Caravan Industry Victoria, (CIV), hosted its prestigious annual Hall of Fame and Industry Awards event held at Melbourne Crown Palladium inducting five members into its Hall of Fame and with over 560 people in attendance.
28,000 Caravans Built Here
The Caravan Industry Victoria Hall of Fame Industry Awards is the night of nights for members of the Caravan Industry Victoria to recognise individuals, businesses, and employees for their contribution to the industry.
This evening is not only a celebration of the dedication of these companies and individuals but also an opportunity to network with friends and industry colleagues. Victoria is the heartland of the caravan industry with 93% of the just over 28,000 caravans and RVs produced in Australia being produced in Victoria and the hall of fame and industry awards is a hotly contested event.
Parable Production’s own Col Parrot honoured
This year saw record nominations and almost three times the number of last year, showing the importance and value of being awarded for excellence in their field.
‘The Association has a long tradition of recognising people and businesses who have contributed so much to the industry, and our prestigious Hall of Fame Awards recognise both past and present pioneers of our industry and to receive the amount of nominations shows the value the members have in the awards,’ stated Daniel Sahlberg, Chief Executive Officer – Caravan Industry Victoria.
