We're honoured to celebrate Rikki-Lee Schmitt's nomination for the NAWIC Businesswoman Award, recognising women who have made an outstanding contribution to the construction industry through leadership, innovation, business excellence and lasting impact.
As a co-founder of Jardon Group, Rikki has helped shape the business from a start-up into a respected mid-tier construction company. Through her strategic leadership, she has established the systems, technology, processes and culture that continue to support Jardon's growth and long-term success.
A significant part of Rikki's legacy has been building a strong and trusted identity for Jardon. Through her leadership of the brand, marketing and communications, she has helped position Jardon as a contractor recognised not only for the quality of its projects, but also for its professionalism, integrity and collaborative approach.
At the heart of Rikki's contribution is her belief that exceptional construction outcomes are built on strong relationships, clear communication and a shared purpose. Her nomination is recognition of the lasting impact she has had on Jardon, the broader industry, and the people around her.
