History

WHC was founded in 2016 by our Director, Thomas Silk, as a Project Management and Engineering company. With over 20 years of experience in the construction industry, Thomas has worked across a wide range of projects and environments, developing a strong understanding of what makes a project successful — from effective planning and communication to organisation, coordination and reliable project support.

This experience shaped the foundations of WHC: to provide practical, professional solutions that help projects run efficiently, while delivering a high level of service at a competitive price.

In 2023, with additional members joining the team, WHC provided Document Control support on a construction project for the first time. Since then, our services have continued to develop, and almost ten years after WHC was established, we have now formally expanded our offering to include Document Control and Administration across multiple projects simultaneously, supporting clients throughout the construction industry and beyond.

Our growing team brings over 15 years of combined experience across business administration, retail and construction. This diverse experience gives us a strong understanding of the demands placed on both projects and the teams behind them.

Whether you require short-term assistance or a long-term partnership, WHC provides flexible, dependable solutions tailored to each client's individual needs.

From Project Management and Engineering to Document Control and Business Support, WHC continues to evolve with one goal in mind:

Making projects and businesses run more efficiently.
