What makes Westex different to the rest?

Guy Matthews ventured out from the rest of the pack with determination and vision. He had a hope, a dream, and a solid credit rating that gave him the foundation to start something meaningful. Eighteen years ago, he founded Westex Contracting in the Pilbara, beginning with just one truck, a background in the industry and a strong belief in hard work. As the Managing Director, Guy isn’t just a figurehead; he can operate anything in the company’s extensive fleet, knows the Pilbara inside and out, has built valuable industry contacts, and leads an experienced, loyal team that shares his commitment. Westex specialises in Civil Earthmoving and Haulage, consistently delivering high-quality results. Westex recently acquired a Pindan quarry just 15 minutes from town, expanding their capabilities. The company also completes concrete removal and recycling projects efficiently. Additionally, they offer dry equipment hire through their sister company, Hedland Plant Hire, providing flexibility to contractors and clients. Best of all, when you call Westex, you get a direct line to Guy himself—something almost unheard of in today’s industry. There are no smoke and mirrors here, just genuine, experienced service delivered with a clear focus and a pinch of passion.
