About
Kelly & Darren are based in Esperance, Western Australia.
Kelly has an extensive administration background in compliance for Local Government Building, Planning & Environmental Health, Aged Care and was a Librarian for over 15 years - in a previous life. Darren spent many years as an Agricultural business owner, owned a roadhouse for a few years and has owned and operated his 1995 Kenworth T950 for the last 7 years. They met, and Kelly had to work out the trucking industry.... very quickly! Kelly studied & researched the WAHVA compliance minefield to aid Darren's transport business. That research lead to Kelly becoming a WAHVA Auditor. Word spread.... and Darkel Consulting was born. Kelly's focus is WAHVA Management Systems, and aiding businesses in administrative tasks. "I believe there is a real need in the transport industry for someone to guide operators on what information they should be recording, and to make it simple to record that information. It doesn’t need to be difficult. I work with the operator to set up an easy system that they understand - so they’re willing to work with it. I'm lucky to have a partner/guinea pig who is an owner/operator – we’ve worked together to come up with a system that works, is operator friendly and is compliant. There's plenty of information to tell you WHAT to do, but not HOW to do it. The industry is ever changing, and having an operator as a partner providing the practical expertise ensures compliance issues are up-to-date. I want to take the fear out of asking compliance questions, to be approachable & contactable - for all operators". --Kelly |
