Cooke & Dowsett Rosetta Plumbing

The recently completed Derwent Entertainment Centre - Glenorchy Team CDR – Robert Pearshouse, Charlotte Walker, Nikki Fischer, Laura Triffitt, Dave Page and Richard Flood.

Another year is coming to an end, blink and it will be Christmas and then a new year, yet again. Teams are no doubt ready and have earned a well-earned end of year break, a chance to take stock of yet another year, likely to leave memories for largely the wrong reasons, and to recharge the batteries ready to go again. Yet amongst the challenges and adversities of the year, team Cooke & Dowsett Rosetta (CDR) has had a very busy year of what we do best….. plumbing. We have had a number of fabulous project wins, expanded into the Launceston market, some Tasmanian legacy projects progressing nicely and some drawing to close.

Last month CDR secured another fabulous project in Launceston with our friends and partners Fairbrother Constructions. Work has now begun on the University of Tasmania’s largest building in its Launceston campus as it relocates into the suburb of Inveresk. The new building located in Willis St will be the new home of Nursing, Allied Health and Food Science. Willis St is set to become a high-end science laboratory of over 10,000 square meters. The design of the building has two wings, one for students and the other for important research and upon completion, is to be known as ‘The Shed’ in a nod to the sites past, when it was previously home to two very large railway sheds.

CDR are proud to announce their corporate membership with The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) Tasmanian Chapter. The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) is an Australian, not-for-profit organisation, led by a team of passionate volunteers who all strive to help champion and empower women in the construction and related industries to reach their full potential. NAWIC celebrates women and helps women that want to be in construction. CDR look forward to tapping into this fantastic association and networking with other industry colleagues.

We were thrilled to be announced finalists in the November 2021 NAWIC (TAS) Awards in the following categories;

Achievement by a Tradesperson – Charlotte Walker (1st Year Plumbing Apprentice) Achievement in Construction – Nikki Fischer (Qualified Plumber) Crystal Vision Award – Cooke & Dowsett Rosetta Plumbing

Yet again, our wonderful Nikki Fischer picked up the gong, this time for the Achievement in Construction Award. We are all so proud of her, she is certainly a role model for all women in our extended team and industry. A wonderful night was held by all at the very well represented evening held at Wrest Point Casino.

Have a great break – looking forward to another exciting year ahead!
