 Last Friday, our Hurst staff came together for our annual HCQ Staff Day! We kicked off the day with a round of golf at Rowes Bay Golf Club, where everyone embraced the "G" theme—complete with some playful pranks featuring exploding golf balls.
 We’re excited to share footage showcasing the groundwork for Hurst Constructions Qld’s latest project: 6000 square metres of storage sheds on a 12,000 square metre block! This phase involved extensive preparation, including a massive redesign of the project to secure development approval for the storage sheds, a two-storey caretaker building, and a childcare centre. A big thank you to the team for their hard work in navigating the process with Townsville City Council. Watch as we lay the foundation for what's to come! Check out the video and stay tuned for more updates!  Hurst Constructions Queensland are looking for expressions of interest from competent sub-contractors for several large upcoming projects in the Townsville area.
 Talk about a wheely big win!
Marissa Papageorge from the Hurst team has pedalled her way into our hearts by conquering the epic 374km Townsville to Cairns Charity Bike Ride and has contributed to raising a phenomenal $300,000 for the Children’s Cancer Institute!  “They kept calling for Malcolm over the loudspeaker, and it took a lot of ignored calls and confusion for everyone to figure out Malcolm was actually Martin,” Martin Brooke told us with a laugh. “After ten years, they’re still getting my name wrong!”
This season's youth Athletics Carnival perfectly showcased Martin Brooke, our Chief Construction Operations Officer, and his remarkable ability to turn any situation into a light-hearted and enjoyable experience. As the event’s dedicated timekeeper, he was at the centre of a humorous mix-up. Despite the repeated calls for “Malcolm,” Martin took it all in stride, laughing and making light of the situation.  The POTAIN Hup 40-30 Self-erecting Crane is not just another crane; it’s a game-changer. With a maximum lifting capacity of 4 tons and a reach that defies limits, this crane redefines what’s possible in the world of heavy lifting. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology allowing for up to 16 configurations, making it adaptable to various lifting needs, it stands poised to tackle the most demanding projects with ease.
 Our Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Amy Dorling has been selected in the Townsville Enterprise Future Leaders Program.
