Valenhold Managing Director named Entrepreneur of the Year

Australia’s top veteran and partner employers, employees and entrepreneurs were celebrated on the 24th of November at the 2022 Prime Minister’s National Veterans’ Employment Awards in Canberra. These awards showcase the talent in the veteran community – as employees and entrepreneurs – and also recognise the organisations that actively recruit, employ and support veterans and families.

Garth Chester,  Valenhold’s founder and Managing Director, took home the Entrepreneur of the Year trophy for the 2022 Prime Minister’s National Veterans’​ Employment Program Awards. It is a testament to the journey that he has gone through, from 12 years in the ADF as an aircraft technician to founding a mining services company that supports significant players in 14 countries.

The Valenhold team are continually inspired by Garth’s leadership and commitment to helping the veteran community thrive.
