Fast Labour Hire and EWIT Bring Industry, Opportunity and Representation to Sydney Build
A leading national labour hire provider joins Empowered Women in Trades at one of Australia's largest construction events, putting workforce inclusion in front of the industry's biggest decision-makers
SYDNEY, NSW - Fast Labour Hire championed greater inclusion for women across trades alongside Empowered Women in Trades (EWIT) at Sydney Build Expo, Australia's largest construction and infrastructure event. The partnership highlights Fast Labour Hire's people-first values defining the company's national growth.
With operations now across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, and Western Australia, the appearance marks a significant step in Fast Labour Hire's national market awareness strategy. It placed Fast Labour Hire directly into the rooms where industry leaders, contractors, and project managers make decisions about workforce and culture.
Amanda Tregenza, Project and Culture Lead at Fast Labour Hire, represented the company at the event. She describes how Sydney Build captured what the partnership with EWIT was designed to create: genuine connection, industry confidence, and conversations that change who gets a seat at the table.
"I've never been naturally comfortable walking into new rooms alone or speaking publicly. But last week felt different. Sydney Build Expo pushed me well outside my comfort zone in the best way. New rooms, great conversations, a quick podcast feature, and a fresh perspective."
The culture that Fast Labour Hire and EWIT aim to promote and foster for women in trades and labour goes beyond representation in policy, targeting presence and visibility on the floors, stages, and conversations that define the industry.
"It gave me the opportunity to speak about the side of labour hire people don't always see. Genuine investment in people, skill development, and building long-term teams. When you care about what you're contributing to and you're surrounded by like-minded people, discomfort tends to take a back seat." explains Amanda.
Fast Labour Hire has been in operation since 2013, with a reputation for reliability built across construction, civil works, manufacturing, warehousing, renewable energy, and major events. This event partnership with EWIT reinforces Fast Labour Hire's commitment to showing up where it matters, building industry relationships beyond the transactional and demonstrating that workforce inclusion and business performance are not competing priorities.
"One of the best parts was being surrounded by people who genuinely want to see the industry evolve and are willing to collaborate to make that happen. I walked away with some genuinely strong connections, fresh ideas, and even more appreciation for the incredible teams working together to drive the industry forward."
Melinda Davis, General Manager at EWIT, said events like Sydney Build are critical for building the partnerships and visibility that drive lasting change.
"Having Fast Labour Hire alongside us at Sydney Build is exactly the kind of industry presence that moves the needle. It sends a clear signal: that inclusion in the trades is being backed by the companies that actually place workers on sites. That is how culture shifts."
