Chris Alebakis named Industry Legend at the 2025 Australian Fencing Awards
Chris Alebakis, owner of RJL Commercial Fencing and Gates (VIC), was named Industry Legend at the 2025 Australian Fencing Awards — recognition for more than 35 years in the trade.
Chris is known across Melbourne's fencing sector for long-standing trade leadership, strong client relationships and a consistent commitment to quality. A key part of that legacy has been building a family-led business alongside his son Jarrod, expanding RJL into multiple aligned divisions covering commercial fencing and gates, concreting, and the electrical services that support automation.
The award caps a career built on showing up prepared, planning thoroughly, and delivering exactly what's specified — the same standard the RJL team works to on every site today.
