Precision, Panels & Progress: Westgate Welding’s Growth Story

Craig “Gint” Hedley has been in the trade for over three decades, but like many seasoned operators, running the tools and running a business were two very different jobs. As the founder of Westgate Welding, he wanted more structure behind the scenes – especially as the company grew, took on more precast work, and began building out a solid team. With Oxygen8’s business coaching, Craig gained the clarity, cost tracking, and strategic support he needed to level up operations and lay the groundwork for expansion.

Grit Meets Guidance: Building a More Efficient Welding Business

Before teaming up with Oxygen8, Westgate Welding was a hands-on business in every sense – relying on manual systems and reactive fixes. Craig had tried business coaches before but found Oxygen8’s support more practical and engaged. With help from Alex, the company introduced cost monitoring tools, set up better office systems, and got a handle on materials, safety gear, and profitability.

Regular meetings and clear reporting helped Craig spot cost blowouts early, adjust job pricing, and support his growing team with smart budgeting. Now, with dedicated roles for operations, admin, and workshop management, Westgate Welding is more structured, more scalable, and ready for its next phase of growth.
