OUR STORY Our story began with two individuals in South Australia, and over the course of 40 years, we expanded across Australia and New Zealand. At WGA, we are built on the foundation of exceptional individuals who collaborate, share knowledge, and foster community unity. The hands symbolising our founders, Geoff Wallbridge and Mark Gilbert, serve as a powerful representation of our dedication to working together, being hands-on, and achieving the best outcomes. Central to our story is the representation of knowledge through a blue and dark orange circle at the centre. This circle signifies a meeting place, where collaboration and relationship-building thrive. The yellow and green dotted circles reflect our constant aspiration to push boundaries, break new ground, and achieve success. They embody our commitment to ongoing growth and improvement. The solid green and yellow circles hold a special meaning for us, as they represent waterholes and campsites where meaningful conversations and interactions take place.
