We are proud to share that Winyama Contracting Group took home not one, but three prestigious awards at this year’s KDCCI Business Excellence Awards, held in Karratha. It was an incredible evening that celebrated the passion, resilience, and achievements of local businesses in the Pilbara — and we’re still buzzing!
Our Business Excellence Awards Wins
At the 2025 KDCCI Business Excellence Awards, Winyama Contracting Group was honoured with:
- Indigenous Business Excellence
- Best Large Business
- Businessperson of the Year – awarded to our very own Arthur Ramirez
These awards are not just accolades; they’re a reflection of the strength and dedication of our entire team. From our on-site crews to our project leads, community liaisons, and support staff — every single member of Winyama plays a vital role in shaping who we are and what we stand for.
More Than Just a Business — A Community Commitment
Winyama Contracting Group was built on a vision of empowering Aboriginal people through meaningful employment, training, and business opportunities. Winning Indigenous Business Excellence reinforces our mission to provide sustainable pathways for First Nations workers across the Pilbara and beyond.
Our award for Best Large Business is a nod to our ability to scale responsibly while continuing to deliver quality services, safety-first projects, and strong partnerships with clients such as Woodside, RTIO, and local councils.
As for Arthur Ramirez, taking home Businessperson of the Year is a testament to his leadership, commitment to Country, and ability to steer the company through growth while staying true to its roots.
