venue. And that really showcases what we’re about,
now – our modern capability as opposed to historically
where we were churning out thousands and thousands
of tons of structural steelwork only. We’ve grown out of
the sector where we were the biggest and the best at
doing structural steelwork and now we’re among the
biggest and best doing civil engineering work, as well.”
Yorke Structures is now 47 years old, and according to
Westcott, “We got to be 47 years old because we’ve
been good at what we do. And we had a person that
was leading the company who had business integrity,
and balance, and strength of will and character to en-
sure that the customers that we had gained some de-
gree of satisfaction because we get a lot of customers
that come back. The company has always had strong
values and culture within it, which we now, as the new
management, need to carry forward. Anything in busi-
ness, ultimately, is very simple: ‘You have to do what
you say, and say what you do.’ And people have to un-
derstand what it is that you’re doing for them, and you
need to understand what it is that they want from you.
That is key. We were trained to be upfront with people
and to service their requirements in the best way that
we know how.”
No doubt, Bob Yorke would be proud.
