Williams Metal Fabrications

It’s time for another ‘Meet the Team’. This time it’s the backbone of our company - Christy Smithers!

Christy has been part of the Williams Metal Fabrications team since 2011, bringing more than 20 years of experience in administration and finance related roles.

Christy leads our administration team and looks after many of the important behind the scenes functions that keep us running smoothly. Her role spans administration, HR and payroll, and she is also our Return to Work Coordinator.

But really, Christy is known for being easy going, efficient and always up for a laugh.

Outside of work, Christy is kept busy by her two kids, whose hobbies have apparently replaced any she once had of her own! Her days off are filled with the glamorous pursuits of cleaning, washing and grocery shopping - and whatever her kids have planned for her.

After 15 years at WMF, Christy is very much part of the furniture – and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

We're proud to be sponsoring our friend and colleague Jeremy Hawkes from Bowhill Engineering as he takes part in the 2026 SA Variety Bash next week.

Driving the SA Variety Bash- Team Mallee Bulls car 727, Jeremy and the team will travel more than 2,300km through regional South Australia, raising vital funds for Variety - the Children’s Charity SA who support children living with disability, illness and disadvantage.

Good luck to Jeremy and the entire Mallee Bulls team. We hope you have an incredible week, safe travels and a successful fundraising campaign for such a worthwhile cause.

We've recently delivered two complete sets of ferry landing structures for DIT, supporting ferry operations at Narrung and Tailem Bend. Manufactured to exacting tolerances and protected with marine-grade coating systems, these structures are built to withstand the harsh River Murray environment.

Our shed installation team recently completed the installation of this 440m² Olympic Industries shed for Fulton Hogan at Dry Creek.

Designed to support day-to-day operations, the structure required additional planning and coordination, with an internal partition wall creating two dedicated functional areas - one for plant and equipment storage, and the other operating as a wash bay area.
