Industry award for local business Local company Liquid Automation, who specialise in design and installation of residential and commercial electronic systems, has won an international award for the Asia Pacific region. The awards showcased some incredible installations which boasted integration on an unprecedented scale. They included stunning examples of home automation, home theatres many only dream of, amazing marine vessels fitted out with every perceivable piece of electronics, practical commercial applications and excellent audio visual product implementation. Based in Rosedale North Shore, Liquid Automation for the second year running won the ‘Best Marine Project’ and received a highly commended for ‘Best Project Design and Documentation’, both categories of the prestigious CEDIA Electronic Lifestyles® Awards, announced and celebrated by over 300 industry guests at a gala dinner function at the Plaza Ballroom, Melbourne, on Wednesday 23 June. Liquid Automation’s Sam Ashton accepted the award and said: “It was an eight-month project with an impressive installation that included all the bells and whistles aboard this luxury vessel. We’re excited to have won, and also we received a highly-commended award for the project design and documentation for the same project.” “The submissions in this year’s prestigious awards were the best I’ve ever seen, both locally and internationally” said Executive Director of CEDIA Asia Pacific, Stephen Miller. “These awards are not given out lightly. This year we had a record number of entries (92) across the Asia Pacific region and each category was fiercely contested. The three judges on this year’s panel come from overseas and commented on the high standard of entries they were asked to adjudicate on.” “Liquid Automation was a worthy winner of the award and had to fend off a talented field to claim both first place and the highly commended award.” Miller said. “We congratulate them and wish them all future success and expect to see them on the podium again next year.” Liquid Automation encourages members of the community to call in at Unit 4 / 40 Arrenway Drive, for a chat and to find out what makes them number one in their field.
