We are absolutely thrilled that Phillip and Dianne were awarded a special President's award at the CCIA Gala Dinner and Awards night last week.

They received this award for their many, many years of service and contribution to CCIA and the industry in general.

Caravan & Camping Industry Association NSW (CCIA) President’s Award:

Introduced in 2019, this is only the second time the President’s Award has been delivered and recognises the industry’s innovators and builders who have helped to shape the industry over many decades and this year went to Robyn Kingsmill, Phillip & Dianne East and Stephen Edwards.

CEO Lyndel Gray said the industry was making an incredible contribution to the NSW economy and in particular the tourism economy for which caravan and camping holidays now account for over 13 million domestic trips each year.

“The caravan and camping sector generates over $4 billion in economic activity across the state each year, directly employing close to 10,000 people and supporting the creation of a further 50,000 jobs.

“As our industry bounces back post-covid, these businesses continue to make a positive contribution to our economy and we are pleased to be recognising the great achievements of our industry through these awards.”

Congratulations Phillip and Dianne!
