We’re proud to announce our partner Pickwick 1A Services is now Supply Nation certified.

To receive and maintain the highly coveted certification, businesses must meet stringent criteria and undergo rigorous ongoing auditing to verify their position as a majority Indigenous owned and managed enterprise and to ensure continuing compliance.

Pickwick Group CEO Ken Holder has welcomed the news as a significant milestone for its partner.

“Pickwick 1A is now one of just a small number of Supply Nation certified businesses within the facilities services industry making real and positive change.”

“By actively supporting reconciliation and putting our First People, first Pickwick 1A is creating sustainable employment, training and supplier diversity opportunities.”

Acknowledgement through certification will help Pickwick 1A Services take the next step in its journey to ‘Close the Gap’ on economic participation and give Supply Nation members peace of mind knowing they are doing business with a business that is genuinely owned and run by our nation’s First People.
