Volvo at the core of KCA success

KCA Site Services built its reputation by solving tough problems for Western Australia's mining and civil sector - so the fleet has to be just as dependable as the people running it.

Adam Wilson couldn't be happier with the Volvo machines his company has acquired over the years.

When Adam Wilson dared to dream by starting up his own mining services company in 2016, he could have been forgiven for having concerns about taking the leap of faith.

But what began as a cautious toe in the water has ended up making a splash, with Adam's KCA Site Services now regarded as one of the leading providers of mining, civil and construction recruitment solutions and equipment hire in Western Australia.

Adam said he and co-founder Kade Lang saw some gaps in the industry at the time for the sort of expertise that KCA provides.

"I came from a mining background, starting up as a truck driver early on in my career and then worked my way up the ranks through different positions and then into a management position," he said.

"I saw the need for better equipment services for the mining industry, so with the knowledge that I had evolved over the time, I wanted to get in and have a go and try and see if it could work.

"Obviously there were a lot of unknowns at the start. I didn't really know what to expect, but I thought there would be no harm done in having a try and finding out areas where we could improve clients' return on investment as well, by delivering tasks quickly and efficiently for them."

On the equipment side, KCA primarily deals with dry hire, with options for clients to hire-to-buy.

"We have the ability to make things happen for our clients without a lot of red tape," Adam said.

"We also understand mining equipment and what equipment is going to be suitable for a mine site. Our mining knowledge has gotten us to where we are today.”

Meanwhile, the recruitment division runs the gamut from blue to white collar workers: "from operators to professionals,” Adam said.
