At the 2024 Boat Builder Awards in Amsterdam held 20 November, Riviera was recognised for its vision and the achievements of its Academy of Excellence with the award for “People and Skills Development”.

Riviera’s recognition follows on from the success of all-Australian “Marine Jobs” initiative which took out the same accolade at the 2023 edition and, when combined, these back-to-back accolades highlight the overall efforts by industry in Australia to respond to the demand for a skilled workforce now and into the years ahead.

The 10^th annual Boat Builder Awards, organised by IBI and METSTRADE, recognised industry professionals from 15 countries with awards that spanned Lifetime Achievement and emerging talent, to innovative products and initiatives in sustainability.
