Executive Team

Wes Chapman, our CEO, has been around machinery and vehicles for as long as he can remember. Starting out as a mobile mechanic, he built up years of hands-on experience in equipment, maintenance and operations, along with a strong network of industry contacts.

Since taking the reins at Kuuwa, Wes has grown the business into a trusted supplier for major projects right across WA, delivering site-ready vehicles and equipment while championing partnerships that create real community impact. He’s passionate about connecting Indigenous businesses with the mining sector and showing the value of working with local suppliers.

Outside of work, Wes keeps busy with his wife and two young daughters, lifelong friends and the odd cycling commute — lycra and all.

Darren Hulme brings a wealth of experience in delivering complex projects and securing major contracts. His career highlights include multi-million-dollar national installations, large-scale refurbishments, and milestone contracts for some of Australia’s biggest infrastructure projects.

At Kuuwa, Darren leads the fleet team, working closely with clients to ensure projects run smoothly, meet every specification, and build lasting relationships based on trust and reliability.

Away from work, Darren is just as driven — he’s run eleven full marathons, regularly takes on new challenges, and makes the most of life in WA with his wife and two daughters.

Charlotte has been part of Kuuwa since the early days, helping shape the welcoming, fun environment we have today. With over a decade of administration experience in the car and healthcare industries, she brings valuable skills in customer service, cost awareness and operational efficiency to her role as Client Liaison Coordinator.

She takes pride in supporting Kuuwa’s growth and living our values every day while ensuring clients get the best possible service and support.

Outside of work, Charlotte enjoys hot Pilates, tropical travel, great food, and spending time with her much-loved pets. She has already ticked off 26 countries and is always planning the next adventure.
