ADM is proud to announce the finalists for this year's Essington Lewis awards at our 2019 Congress, which is currently underway in Canberra.
The Essington Lewis Awards are designed to recognise excellence in industry and the Department of Defence collaboration, working together to overcome challenges or problems – ensuring that the ADF has or will have the materiel it needs, when it needs it, and at a cost that represents value for money.
This perpetual trophy is named in honour of Mr. Essington Lewis, the WWII industrialist credited with cementing Defence Industry as a key economic and capability force.
Trophies and certificates will be awarded at a Gala dinner in Canberra in August.
