Wiley

What Wiley does

Wiley & Co. Pty Ltd, trading as Wiley, is a Brisbane-based Australian project delivery company founded in 1918 that specializes in the end-to-end delivery of food processing and manufacturing facilities. The firm serves enterprise clients across meat processing, aquaculture, dairy, ready meals, rendering, and beverage industries, alongside selective exposure to healthcare, education, agricultural infrastructure, and data centre projects. Its delivery model integrates four service pillars: Business Advisory (feasibility, innovation, sustainability, R&D), Construction Management and Building (Design and Construct, EPC, EPCM, BOOT, and joint venture contracting models), Process Engineering (equipment sourcing, commissioning, HACCP analysis, lifecycle costing), and Property, Planning & Design (digital modeling using Revit, Navisworks, 3DS Max, BIM 3D-7D, and virtual/augmented reality visualization).

Revenue is generated through project-based contracts priced per engagement based on scope, complexity, and delivery model, typically under multi-year arrangements with enterprise and government buyers. The company go-to-market relies on direct enterprise sales, consultative relationships, competitive tenders, and thought leadership-driven content plus active participation in industry events such as IFFA (Germany), FoodTech Queensland, FoodBytes!, and Indoor Ag-Con. Wiley's proprietary technology differentiator is its integrated design-build delivery under a single contract, with advanced BIM and VR/AR capabilities enabling clients to virtually experience facilities before construction, combined with deep specialization in food industry regulatory compliance (BRC, HACCP) and cold chain automation via a strategic partnership with Dematic. Notable customer engagements include the Ridley Corporation Westbury aqua-feed mill (Tasmania), Huon Aquaculture's $160M consolidation project, a $35M expansion for Gundagai Meat Processors, and infrastructure work for Queensland Health and Western Downs Regional Council. The company is family-owned, led by Managing Directors Tom Wiley and Suzie Wiley, with Brett Wiskar serving as Chief Future Officer driving innovation, R&D, and data consulting.
