WESTROADS CEO APPOINTMENT
Westroads appoints Chief Executive Officer to lead next phase of growth
11th May 2026
Westroads Limited is pleased to announce the appointment of Clark Butcher as the company’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 company’s continued growth and evolution.
“Westroads 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.”
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.
“Clark brings strong technical expertise, commercial leadership and industry experience, but just as importantly he understands regional communities and the importance of relationships,” Mr Rogers said.
“We are excited to welcome Clark and his family back to the West Coast.”
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 Westroads’ operations, supplier relationships and strategic projects.
“Graeme’s contribution to Westroads and the wider Coast has been significant,” Mr Rogers said.
“This 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.”
