Holmans Celebrates at the 2025 ARAMA TOP Awards
On Friday, 12 September, the Australian Resident Accommodation Managers Association (ARAMA) hosted their annual TOP Awards night at The Star Brisbane. The evening was a celebration of excellence, connection, and recognition for the outstanding performers and contributors within the management rights industry.
This year’s event saw record-breaking participation, with the highest ever number of nominees, votes, finalists, and attendees. It marked the third time in six years that the event sold out, reinforcing just how important the TOP Awards have become for the industry.
A Night to Remember
From the moment guests arrived, there was a palpable sense of excitement. The evening was elegantly hosted by Kimberley Busteed, whose warmth and professionalism set the perfect tone for the night. Entertainment came in the form of three talented magicians, adding surprise and delight throughout the celebration.
A highlight of the evening was the attendance of Queensland Premier David Crisafulli, a long-time supporter of ARAMA and the management rights sector. His presence was a ringing endorsement of the industry’s importance, having attended the very first TOP Awards back in 2019 when he was the Shadow Tourism Minister.
“It was an evening of connection, celebration and recognition for The Outstanding Performers across our industry.”
Holmans’ Double Recognition
I was incredibly proud to see Holmans receive double recognition at this year’s awards.
- Service Provider of the Year — Holmans was named a finalist, a reflection of our team’s dedication to supporting and championing the management rights sector.
- Life Membership Award — I was truly humbled to be awarded Life Membership for my contributions to ARAMA and its members over the past 25 years.
Being acknowledged in this way is a career highlight and a testament to the wonderful people I’ve had the privilege of working with over the years — both at Holmans and within the wider industry.
“A huge thank you to ARAMA for the double recognition at Friday night’s 2025 TOP Awards! I’m greatly honoured to be acknowledged by ARAMA, which does so much to champion the management rights industry that we’re proud to be a part of.
To our clients — thank you for entrusting us with your business. We’ll never take it for granted and will continue to give you our all.”
Looking Ahead
As I reflect on the night’s celebrations, I’m filled with gratitude and excitement for the future. The ARAMA TOP Awards have become a vital and positive fixture in the management rights industry, and I’m proud that Holmans plays a role in this incredible community.
Congratulations to all the winners, nominees, and finalists who continue to raise the bar and make our industry stronger every year.
I look forward to coming together again in 2026 for another evening of connection, celebration, and recognition at the ARAMA TOP Awards.
