If you look over the major projects designed, installed
                                       and completed in the greater gippsland over the past
                                       twenty years there is a chance Wayne has something
                                       to do with it from the R.A.A.F Base in Sale to Inghams
                                       chickens in Geelong Wayne has been instrumental in
                                       significant parts of the process. He brings knowledge
                                       both from a hands on and construction angle. A valued
                                       member of the JBW team.

                                       Wayne’s commitment to developing the young people
                                       of the Gippsland is evident - Williams and Burns has a
                                       tradition of nurturing apprentices and currently employs
                                       6 young people in this role.

                                       “I want with all my businesses not just that ‘did the job’
                                       but that we are proud of the job we have done, but,
                                       again not just proud because that is our job but a real
                                       pride to our industry.”

  Darren Burns The history and prestige of
    Williams and Burns is maintained with the fresh
    dynamism of JBW – and Darren Burns is a key figure
    in maintaining this success. Commencing the
    company in 1990 after many years ‘hands on’
    Darren has taken a  two man business to one
    employing 20 including 6 apprentices. Along the way 
                                        the man with the golden touch also opened a sheet
                                        metal fabrication plant to support the companies demand
                                        of commercial duct work ,this has also taken off, a
                                        business Darren still has part ownership of today.
                                        In 2005 an opportunity to be involved in ducted vacuum
                                        industry became available and Darren jumped- knowing
                                        his success in other businesses- his presence is already
                                        being felt throughout the industry.

                                        Darren Burns holds the valued balance of technical and
                                        management skills that ensures the success of not only
                                        his own company, but also the many projects he
                                        oversees. He has installed, managed and overseen
                                        projects in commercial and industrial air conditioning,
                                        including mechanical services, dust extraction, and
                                        vacuum systems.
                                       
                                        Some of the many successful installations include:
                       
                                         •  Coal smelter Newcastle Dust extraction
                                        
                                         •  Power station Ipswich Cooling Tower
                                        
                                         •  Raaf Base Sale Mechanical ventilation Fuel Lab
                                        
                                         •  Latrobe valley Cancer care Mechanical services /
                                            wet vacuum system
                                        
                                        •  22 story national mutual building Melbourne
                                            Mechanical services

                                       “I am a strong believer of the systems to maintain
                                        indoor air quality. It is my opinion that vacuuming with
                                        portable machines and re circulating the air back into
                                        the space can not be good for indoor air quality
                                        especially where eg hospitals and diseases
                                        are concerned. My view is that the only place for
                                        a vacuum cleaner is out side the building.”
