Amaroo is an Aboriginal word meaning ‘beautiful place’.
Our vision is to not only transform workplaces into beautiful places but also to make a positive impact on the lives of young Aboriginal individuals and local communities.
AWM Amaroo
Our Story
AWM Amaroo is a joint venture established in 2020 between Dan Manson, a descendant of the Arabana people, and Ant Scotts & Ric Lewarne of AWM. Our vision is to not only transform workplaces into beautiful spaces but also to make a positive impact on the lives of young Aboriginal individuals and local communities. As a registered company with Supply Nation, we place a strong emphasis on working with local suppliers and businesses throughout the entire fit-out process.
For tens of thousands of years, Aboriginal Australians have valued community, sustainability, functionality, harmony and social interaction. These are all values that successful workplaces embrace and they inspire our manufacturing and business philosophy at every level.
Dan Manson
As a descendent of the Arabana people of South Australia, AWM Amaroo majority owner Dan Manson is passionately focused on providing positive outcomes for young Aboriginal people through education, mentoring and employment and training opportunities. Coming from a background in teaching in rural NSW before starting his career in construction, Dan appreciates first hand the value of education for the outcomes of young Aboriginal people.
