Perseverance sees Flex Industries thriving after 20 years

Being a former apprentice and the owner of a successful business providing heavy diesel mechanical and auto electrical solutions of two decades, Mark Wilson, owner of Flex Industries says perseverance has been essential for business success.

Driven by determination and a humbled learning spirit, Wilson is now taking on apprentices, an ode to vocational training that got him started as an apprentice.

Flex Industries is a one-stop-shop for all mechanical and auto-electrical solutions, based in Kalgoorlie and Kwinana, Western Australia.

While building a business is exciting, Wilson says there are many challenges and the heavy-duty industry is ever-changing.

“Establishing good relationships and support networks, particularly through Apprenticeship Support Australia and CCIWA who are instrumental in supporting small businesses and pointing you in the right directions, are some of the lessons that I have learned throughout the years” Wilson says.

“Whether it’s a career or an apprenticeship, pursue it wholeheartedly and learn new skills and knowledge whenever you can.

“Anything we do in life requires perseverance and an ability to rise above. Don’t give up on your dream.”
