Westroads Limited is pleased to announce the appointment of Clark Butcher as the companyโ€™s new Chief Executive Officer.
A fifth-generation West Coaster, Clark is an engineer and experienced civil contracting executive with extensive leadership experience across infrastructure and contracting operations.
Westroads Board Chair, Mark Rogers, said the appointment marks an important step in the companyโ€™s continued growth and evolution.
โ€œWestroads has a long and proud history on the Coast, and this appointment positions the company well for the future.
Moving to a CEO-led structure reflects the scale and maturity of the business today, and our ambition to continue building capability, performance and operational excellence across all areas of the company.โ€
Operating across roading maintenance and construction, utilities infrastructure, waste management, plant and operator hire, and broader civil contracting services, Westroads has continued to expand its operations and regional presence in recent years.
โ€œClark brings strong technical expertise, commercial leadership and industry experience, but just as importantly he understands regional communities and the importance of relationships,โ€ Mr Rogers said.
โ€œWe are excited to welcome Clark and his family back to the West Coast.โ€
Clark is expected to commence with Westroads to align with the start of its next financial year.
The appointment follows a planned leadership transition for long-serving General Manager, Graeme Kelly, who will move into a dedicated pricing and procurement role from 1 July.
After nearly 30 years with the business, including decades leading the organisation as General Manager, Graeme will continue to play an important role supporting Westroadsโ€™ operations, supplier relationships and strategic projects.
โ€œGraemeโ€™s contribution to Westroads and the wider Coast has been significant,โ€ Mr Rogers said.
โ€œThis transition is very much about building on that legacy and ensuring the company continues to grow from a position of strength. We are pleased to be both retaining and bringing home strong West Coast talent.โ€

The year was 1986. The NZ Song of the Year was โ€œSlice of Heavenโ€, NZโ€™s cars were getting new licence plates with black characters on a white background, and a young man called ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐˜†๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—œ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ (known to everyone as Rambo) started working for a Borough Council, which became a District Council, that created a trading organisation called Westroads.
In 40 years, there arenโ€™t many roads in the Westland District that Rambo hasnโ€™t worked on or driven on. Heโ€™s also done almost every job you can imagine with the company, including street sweeping, rubbish collection, pothole repairs, digging holes for burials, and acting as the dog ranger, but now heโ€™s more familiar to us as a talented driver and machine operator. Heโ€™s now passing on his experience and skills to new staff while still doing his daily role on our roads and highways.
Over his time here, Rambo has collected a lot of experience, learning lessons, and good stories. Just ask him how much damage one bee can do to a truck (but thankfully not the driver).

We are pleased to acknowledge Ben Radics on the successful completion of his study with Connexis to achieve the NZ Certificate in Infrastructure Works specialising in Pipeline Construction & Maintenance. Heโ€™s pictured here on the right receiving his certificates from our Greymouth Branch Manager Shane Hutchinson.
This achievement reflects his genuine commitment to professional development and excellence. Heโ€™s already signed up to Level 4 studies to stay on his water industry learning path! The knowledge and skills gained will further strengthen our Greymouth Utilities team and enhance the quality of service we provide to the Grey District Council and the people who live in the area.
Congrats Ben on this important milestone and we look forward to seeing the positive impact it will bring to Westroads.
