Our Story

Serving Our Community & Beyond Since 2013

With almost 20 years’ experience, William Childs is a First-Generation Entrepreneur who founded the WTC Group in 2013. Having grown up on a property in the rural town of Narrabri NSW, Will has always had an interest in the agriculture industry. He started his career as a Plant Operator after leaving High School and has worked his way through a range of Operational and Supervisory roles right across the country. 

As modernisation and technological advancements gained momentum in the agriculture industry, Will realised there was a significant gap within Northern NSW for a locally operated company with customisable service. From there, the WTC Group was born.

Will and his wife, Lisa, have built the company from the ground up, starting as a one-man operation with a single 623 elevated scraper. The WTC Group now employs a highly skilled and diverse team of over 80 employees and hosts a fleet of over 70 machines, including scrapers, graders, dozers, excavators, prime movers, water carts and dump trucks. We’re proud to be one of the largest privately owned employers in our region.

As the WTC Group has grown, so have our core capabilities. Over the years, we have diversified into mining, civil construction, logistics and government projects. We now have the skills, equipment and experience to take on Projects of all scales. We have a well-established and diverse client base including Local Councils, State and Federal government projects, mining contracts and agricultural clients.

Will is also a founding member of the local not-for-profit organisation, Narrabri Industrial Network. The group consists of like-minded business owners working together as advocates to showcase the capabilities within our region that will continue to benefit the community for generations to come.

Our Management Team has over 100 years’ combined experience within the civil construction and earthmoving industry. We are a driven and innovative team. We are always looking for better ways to advance the company and add value to our clients, and additional avenues through which we can grow and diversify.

We’re locals ourselves, so our region’s success is just as important to us as our own. We have a strong presence in the community, supporting local sporting teams, clubs and charity events. We encourage our people to live and shop locally, we reinvest in our community through local sponsorships, and we use local subcontractors and suppliers wherever possible. 

We’re passionate about ensuring that the regional economies in which we operate benefit and grow from ongoing National Building projects. Although we’re based in regional NSW, we provide services to clients all across the country.
