We are proud to share that our Founder, David Mikkelsen, has been recognised on the national stage, receiving the 2026 Australian Trades Small Business Champion Trade Entrepreneur Award.
The award acknowledges David’s outstanding leadership, business growth and contribution to the Australian trades industry.
More Than 25 Years of Leadership and Growth
David founded our business as a local plumbing company more than 25 years ago. Since then, we have expanded to provide plumbing, electrical and air conditioning services to homeowners across the Central Coast and Newcastle.
His leadership has helped guide each stage of that expansion. This has included investing in our people and technology while maintaining our focus on reliable workmanship, clear communication and a consistent customer experience.
An Achievement Shared by Our Entire Team
While the award was presented to David personally, he sees it as recognition of the people who have contributed to our business.
Speaking about the award, David said:
“While my name appears on the award, this achievement reflects the work of the entire Fluid team. Our office staff, support team, technicians and apprentices have all contributed to the standards and culture we have developed together. Most importantly, it reflects the trust our customers place in us every day. We are grateful to our team, our customers and our community for helping make this possible.”
Supporting the Communities We Serve
Beyond our day-to-day work, we remain committed to supporting the communities we serve.
We are proud to support local sporting clubs, charities and community organisations across the Central Coast and surrounding regions.
Looking Ahead
This award marks an important milestone for our business and gives us an opportunity to recognise everyone who has helped us reach it.
As we look ahead, our focus remains on delivering exceptional service while investing in our people and the communities we serve.
