About the business
A refrigerated transport business providing chiller and freezer freight in Brisbane, Queensland. It has been trading over 30 years. It is run by a General Manager, with minimal owner involvement. The long-serving team, including one driver with about 25 years' service, is all expected to transfer. No premises are required, with secure truck parking and admin run from home, and there is no lease. The fleet and plant are included: a refrigerated semi combination, two refrigerated rigids, a hot shot vehicle and spare capacity. Work is regular daily and weekly runs plus urgent freight, with an anchor customer on daily scheduled work. The reason given for the sale is owners downsizing their wider business interests. The broker reports that no marketing or digital presence has been needed and that work arrives by referral.
