Gardian Recognised For Outstanding Community Connections

Gardian has been recognised for its heart as much as its business, winning the Connecting in the Community Award, sponsored by Local Buying Foundation, at the 2025 Resource Industry Network (RIN) Awards. The category celebrates organisations that excel in building meaningful connections with the community and external stakeholders.

Proudly Mackay family-owned and operated, Gardian has been part of the local community for over 25 years.

Built with the Mackay community at heart, the company’s expertise spans Finance, Home Loans, Business and Personal Insurance, Financial Planning, Real Estate Sales, Property Management, and Commercial Sales, Leasing and Management. This broad service offering, combined with a long-term expert knowledge of the local market, has made Gardian a trusted partner for countless residents and businesses.

Through volunteering, charitable donations, sponsorship of sporting groups, and initiatives such as the Mackay Hospital and Community Foundations, the Trudy Crowley Foundation and the Finley Smith Memorial Cup, Gardian works to create opportunities and strengthen connections.

The judges praised this approach, noting the meaningful impact the company has on the local community.

“Community and family are at the heart of everything Gardian do. To be part of the Gardian Tribe, is to be part of the Mackay Community,” said the Judges.

“Individuals' generosity with their time enables legacies such as the Finley Smith Memorial Cup to live on.

“The Gardian family are truly passionate about investing in our local community.”

Winning the award affirms that Gardian’s commitment to community is more than words, it’s a way of life that continues to shape a stronger, more connected Mackay.

“At Gardian, commitment to community and mutual support is at the heart of everything we do, guiding our decisions and strengthening the relationships that drive long-term success.”
