We would like to congratulate the newly appointed Board Members and thank the outgoing Directors for their contribution and expertise since the Foundation was established by MBV in 2010.

The Building Industry Foundation was established by Master Builders Victoria as an independent, registered charity to support anyone looking to enter the building and construction industry as well as those with aspirations to further progress their career within the industry.

We are delighted to welcome the new Foundation Board Members elected at the AGM on 17 November 2021:

  • George Abraham, Managing Director Hickory Group
  • Dani Bartolini, Business Development Manager Rock Up Group
  • John Goris, Director and CEO Hermitage Homes & Kingsbridge Homes
  • Dale Kennedy, Managing Director Harris HMC
  • Daniel Mazzei, Managing Director Mazzei Homes
  • Steve Peluso, Managing Director Peluso Building Group

They will join the continuing Board Members:

  • Peter Picking (Chair)
  • Viviana Hood
  • Tristan Moseley (Secretary)

Our new Board brings an enormous level of expertise, passion, and commitment to developing future talent for the industry and unlocking financial barriers for people to build a successful career within the industry.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our outgoing Directors for their contribution, commitment, and service to the Foundation since its establishment.

  • Hon. Alan Stockdale AO
  • Jonathan Forster
  • Phillip Davies
  • Saeed Mirbagher

As a registered, independent charity, all Directors contribute their time and energy selflessly to make a positive difference for the building and construction industry and for those who aspire to enter and progress within it.

The new Board will begin working together in the new year to set a new strategy for the Foundation and further expand its impact on the Foundation.
