On Thursday, September 20, Hensel Phelps hosted their first Trade Partner Appreciation Event in Hawaii at the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Hookupu Center in Kakaako. This event was a significant occasion for our company, bringing together our employees and over 80 representatives from 40 different trade partner firms. The special occasion celebrated and acknowledged the invaluable contributions of our trade partners, who play a crucial role in the success of our projects.
The event featured appetizers, drinks, networking opportunities and time to enjoy each other’s company outside of projects. The laid-back environment fostered meaningful conversations and helped strengthen professional relationships. A notable highlight of the evening was the Virtual Design and Construction team’s booth, where attendees could experience the benefits of virtual reality in construction. This interactive setup allowed participants to see how VR can enhance project planning, collaboration and overall outcomes in the construction industry.
During the event, Hensel Phelps recognized five trade partners for their EXCELLENCE in safety. The companies honored were The Zelinsky Company, Porges Electrical Group Inc., Affiliated Construction LLC, Helix Electric and Harris Rebar. These partners have consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to maintaining high safety standards on our projects. Their commitment to safety not only safeguards their own workers but also enhances the overall success of our projects by reducing risks and ensuring smooth operations, setting a positive example for other trade partners.
The Trade Partner Appreciation Event highlighted the power of relationships and the importance of recognizing our partners’ contributions. We are excited about the opportunities with our trade partners as we continue to work together toward common goals.
