The business has strategically developed multiple complementary service lines that provide revenue diversification and operational synergies. This balanced portfolio ensures stability through economic and seasonal fluctuations, with different divisions often experiencing countercyclical demand patterns.
The transport division provides reliable, efficient haulage services to a diverse client base. With decades of experience navigating the unique challenges of North Queensland terrain and weather conditions, the business has become the preferred provider for critical and time-sensitive deliveries.
The company has established itself as a reliable earthmoving contractor in the region. At times the business has undertaken complete projects but typically provides support for site preparations to major commercial developments and infrastructure works. Their expertise in excavation, site levelling, and material management is highly regarded throughout the area.
A significant competitive advantage lies in the company's Department of Natural Resources and Council-approved sand leases at two strategic locations. These leases provide access to the highest quality sand resources available, as verified through independent accredited testing. This premium product meets rigorous testing specifications and is sort by large scale providers for use in concrete batching, pipe laying, slab construction, trenching and block laying.
Operating under a domestic water carrier license, the business provides essential water delivery services throughout the region. This service line becomes particularly valuable during dry seasons and drought conditions, providing counter-cyclical revenue streams.
Significant revenue is generated through agreements with Wilmar to provide essential services during the crushing season. These mills depend on these services to maintain operations for a period of approximately six-months. Plant hire and bagasse cartage services operate on a continuous 24/7 basis during the crushing season, which is critical to mill functionality.
With a strong commitment to exceptional customer service, this business is seeking a new owner who shares a passion for maintaining a well-established, turnkey sand and gravel business with transport and earthmoving operation with an excellent reputation. The current owners will also provide thorough training on day-to-day operations, technical details, and the full range of services offered during the handover process.
As expected from a business of this calibre, it is well-established, organized, and has the potential for efficient management by new owners. Additionally, the Business Sales Group Network offers access to motivated finance brokers, providing tailored finance packages to interested buyers. We are here to support you every step of the way in exploring this exciting business opportunity.
