Under a new ownership structure and bold new name, Agilitus (formerly BG&E Resources) is entering an exciting era of growth and independence.
When Craig Bloxham and Tony Comerford founded BG&E Resources, they saw a gap in the market for a private engineering and design company that was agile, responsive to clients’ needs and able to make quick decisions. Seven years later, the Western Australian-based company has become a key player in the industry, positioning itself for further expansion in Australia and beyond.
Until February 2025, BG&E Resources was part of the BG&E Group. Now the company has stepped out on its own under the new name Agilitus.
Agilitus Managing Director and Co-Founder, Craig Bloxham, said, “We’ve had a very successful relationship with BG&E for quite a few years and both companies have done very well.”
Mr Bloxham said the new changes mark a major milestone in the history of the company.
“It’s been part of the vision as to why we set up a company and is what we always wanted to achieve.
“The company has been tremendously successful with seven years of existence, beyond our expectations. It really reflected the fact that our clients want a privately owned company that was medium sized, agile and very responsive.”
“It’s a great opportunity for us to rebrand ourselves and go forward to expand further on the east coast and grow our service offering,” Mr Bloxham said.
Staying ahead
When exploring a new name and brand, Bloxham wanted a word that represented how they worked with clients.
“Clients have always told us we are agile, so this name is ideal for us. Agilitus combines ‘us’ with ‘agility’,” he said.
“We chose that name because we believe that being agile is very important, especially with what’s happening in the industry right now,” Mr Bloxham said.
“A lot of privately owned engineering companies have been brought out by big corporates. When that happens, you lose a lot of flexibility and agility in your decision making at a senior management level because there’s a lot of shareholders involved.
“Being privately owned ensures we can respond quickly to our clients’ requirements in their domains.”
As part of the restructure, Agilitus’ key staff will also be given the opportunity to own equity in the company.
“Owning part of the company means you’re more invested in the business, you have ‘skin in the game’,” Mr Bloxham said.
“The Agilitus team will be highly motivated to continue the company’s success in the future.”
As for that future, Mr Bloxham is optimistic.
“We occupy a distinct part of the marketplace in Australia and there’s a massive opportunity for us to increase our market share here and internationally as well.
“The company was born in Western Australia. We’ve more than 350 staff in WA and a further 100 in Newcastle, Brisbane, Townsville, and we’re very proud of that. While we’re well recognised in Western Australia, we are well on our way for further expansion across Australia.”
“With the change to Agilitus, we have the opportunity to clearly identify what we stand for as a brand which will remove some confusion for some of the customers and industry.”
Looking ahead, Mr Bloxham reaffirmed Agilitus’s commitment to its clients.
“We will never lose focus on our clients. That’s always been our ethos. We’ll continue to do a great job. We’ll have our people fully invested in the business, making sure that we’re doing the best we can to service you.”
