The winners of the FY26 AuctionsPlus Awards have been announced, recognising the accredited assessors and agencies who have driven throughput and innovation across the platform over the past 12 months.

The AuctionsPlus Awards celebrate the agents and assessors who power Australia's largest agricultural marketplace. Presented annually since 2012, the awards span cattle, sheep, machinery and combined livestock categories, along with special recognition awards for outstanding contribution to the AuctionsPlus network.

AuctionsPlus CEO Wyn Snyman said the awards were a genuine, data-driven measure of performance across the network.

"Congratulations to all of this year's award winners. These awards are one of the pillars of agency life, providing a genuine and data-driven measure of performance and professionalism," Mr Snyman said.

"Our assessors are the most highly regarded in Australia, each having undertaken rigorous training, and these awards provide a valuable opportunity to recognise the best of the best.

"It is particularly pleasing to see long-serving assessors represented on this year's list alongside a number of outstanding newcomers. This reflects the strong depth within our assessor network and demonstrates that the next generation coming through is upholding the standards that AuctionsPlus has long been built on."

For the first time, the Young Gun and Industry Woman of the Year awards have been sponsored by Zoetis.

Zoetis Livestock Marketing Manager Daniel Guest said the company was proud to sponsor the two categories because they resonated with its goal of supporting industry professionals.

“We support industry professionals who put their clients first and consistently driving outstanding outcomes with healthy and highly productive sheep and cattle.”
