A thank you from Geoff Dahlsen

Back to news

As 2025 draws to a close, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your continued support and partnership throughout the year.

It’s been another challenging year for the industry – softer market conditions, rising costs, labour shortages and shifting regulations have tested us all. But wherever I go, from cities to regional towns, I see builders adapting, staying focused on quality and getting the job done. Building is skilled, meaningful work that shapes communities, and we’re proud to support you with a team that truly respects your craft.

Looking ahead, there’s cause for optimism. With new government incentives, we hope to see renewed momentum across the sector in 2026.

At Dahlsens, we’ve kept our focus on what matters most – helping keep builders and trades moving. This year, we strengthened our safety commitment with new team members, tools and training. We’re already seeing the benefits; safer sites, fewer injuries and greater peace of mind. Thanks for doing your part to help keep our people safe – whether on site or in store.

We’re equally proud of our own team, whose dedication every day enables us to deliver the service, advice and support you rely on. From logistics to truss and frame design, trade support to customer service, their efforts bring our promise to life.

Working alongside my father, John, who continues to lead Dahlsens as Chairman, we remain committed to helping the building industry to thrive.

In 2026, you’ll see an energised Dahlsens team – focused more than ever on great service, practical advice and a genuine partnership to help your business succeed.

Thank you again for choosing to build with Dahlsens. We don’t take your partnership for granted. From our family to yours, we wish you a safe, joyful and well-earned break this Christmas and New Year.

Geoff Dahlsen,
CEO, Dahlsens
