Clive Martella, FTMA Board Member and Director of MB Prefab Framing in Geelong was down to earth, funny, straight up, hardworking and such an honest person. Clive was an essential person within the FTMA Board. Not only was he one of the people who worked hard to get the National Association going but he remained a Director throughout his time on the board.

Before Clive sadly passed away in 2016, we told him we would be honouring him with the Clive Martella Service to Industry Award. Typical of Clive he said he didn’t need it as he was truly a humble person but he meant so much to FTMA that the industry need it. We want to continue his legacy by recognising people who shared his passion for our industry.

We are seeking nominations for the 2022 Clive Martella Service to Industry Award!

There is no criteria for the award as we want the Award to reflect Clive’s values, and that is someone who goes out of their way to help people and businesses within the industry. Someone who is honest and committed to seeing the national frame and truss industry innovate and grow and someone who has themselves, made a great commitment to our industry. If you know someone who you believe is worthy of this award, please submit their nomination by completing this form.
