Craig Ransley is the founder of ResCo Services with a proven track record in human resources. In 1999, Craig identified the need for a human resources company specialising in highly skilled labour, placements and general resourcing of the human and maintenance requirements to these specialist industries. Craig began operating initially as Hydro services, located in Tasmania, contracting to Aurora Energy providing overhead vegetation line and easement clearing services before the company grew into The TESA Group Pty Ltd. Recognising its strong presence in the black coal industry, SKILLED Group purchased TESA in 2006 for $61.9m in cash. At that time, TESA had revenue of $165m and EBITDA of $8.5m.

Craig previously had an 8-year career in the Royal Australian Navy, as a qualified fitter and machinist, and now leads a progressive client orientated company focused on providing service solutions to its Australia- wide clientele.
