Western Work Force

Western Work Force is a Burswood-based labour hire company. It was established in June 2014 and has achieved rapid expansion, with turnover of $11.5 million in 2014-15 and $25.7 million in 2015-16. Its founder and original chief executive Craig Loftus left the business in 2016 after it went into voluntary administration. Melbourne-based investors Daniel Bramhall and Dean Lewington, who sold out of the business in late 2015, are due to regain control in 2017 after a recapitalisation. It continued to trade during the voluntary administration and had about 10 permanent staff and 200 contractors on site in early 2017.
