Testimonials
“Working with Wes at Sydney Trains was a great experience over a 4 year period. We developed and negotiated the first Master Services Agreement for all Track and Signals maintenance and capital projects that undoubtedly saved NSW government money whilst delivering value for suppliers in a collaborative relationship. Wes is a great negotiator and an excellent team member prepared to do the planning before we executed which when applied produced many fantastic results for both parties. I loved working with Wes and would recommend him for any assignment”
Mike Blanchard - 4Vakue LtD, nz
“Wes was successful in establishing the founding rail business in Western Australia for Abigroup Rail. His success was due to developing a highly collaborative relationship with the established WA region and setting in place a business development strategy that aligned internally with the business and most importantly resonated with clients - resulting in rail work being won in the mining sector”
