Project delivery company Wiley has established an office in Launceston, Tasmania to better service clients in the state.

For executive chair Tom Wiley, “It just made sense. We have been working in the state for years and have fantastic existing clients there.”

The company recently finished the design, construction and delivery of Ridley’s new Westbury aqua feed mill facility. The facility is a purpose-built extrusion mill which has an annualised capacity of 50,000 tonnes.

Wiley also designed and constructed the $12 million Huon Aquaculture Value Added Seafood Processing Facility upgrade at Parramatta Creek in northern Tasmania.

Wiley Senior Project Manager, Logan Ashmole who heads up the Tasmania operations said: “We’ve been in the new office for a couple months now in Tasmania and we are loving it. I had the pleasure of being the Project Manager on the Ridley Westbury project where we were able to utilise local businesses for a large percentage of the construction and delivery of the project. Everyone has been incredibly welcoming.

“We are hoping to continue expanding our network to engage local suppliers and subcontractors wherever possible.”

The Wiley Tasmania office expands the company’s footprint, with existing offices in Sydney, Melbourne and headquarters in Brisbane. It also has offices in New Zealand and Asia.
