Canberra's MAG Welding Services has ignited industry recognition with dual finalist nominations at the prestigious 2025 Canberra Region Local Business Awards. The long-standing metal fabrication business secured a coveted spot in the Service and Trade category while owner Jacqueline Taylor earned individual recognition as a finalist for Business Person of the Year.
A Legacy of Excellence in Metal Fabrication
Founded in 1999 by Graeme and Jacqueline Taylor, MAG Welding Services has built an impressive reputation across the ACT region, counting the ACT Government among their high-profile clients. The business specializes in comprehensive metal work, handling everything from urgent trailer repairs and custom Colorbond fencing to complex fabrication projects requiring precision welding.
"Our tradesmen and apprentices are trained to weld anything from mild steel to bronze, aluminium, brass, cast iron, stainless steel and galvanised products," explained Graeme Taylor. "We're essentially a one-stop shop with access to complementary trades including auto electricians, sandblasters, powder coaters, and onsite installers."
Emergency Services Without Emergency Prices
One of the company's standout offerings is their prompt emergency welding breakdown service, which has cultivated a loyal customer base across the region. Unlike many competitors, MAG Welding Services maintains a policy of no extra charges for urgent jobs, recognizing that most clients require timely solutions without financial penalty.
"If you need us urgently, we are there for you," Jacqueline Taylor affirmed. "By providing this service, we've developed loyal clients who rely on us to get them back working quickly. We don't charge extra because that fee would impact 80 percent of our customers. It's a niche market we're known for and proud to maintain."

According to Graeme Taylor, the company's consistent success stems from their unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. "We treat every customer the same no matter how big or small the job is. Every job is important to us," he emphasized.
For Jacqueline Taylor, the dual finalist recognition represents more than just business achievement. "This is a very proud moment," she shared. "It gives us satisfaction to see that all the hard work over the years is being recognized and rewarded."
With their comprehensive service range, emergency response capabilities, and award-winning quality, MAG Welding Services continues to set the standard for metal fabrication and welding services in the Canberra region.
