Gillespie Freight Service is a privately owned and operated freight business specialising in general freight. The general freight business was established around 50 years ago with the current owner acquiring the business in 1999.
The business provides a general freight service throughout Northern Victoria and Southern NSW. This includes private freight and subcontracting for other freight companies. Gillespie Freight Services' client base ranges from local businesses and larger national enterprises.
Gillespie Freight Service is based in Shepparton with the vehicles housed in a local depot; however, the business could be run from anywhere in Northern Victoria or Southern NSW. The business currently services Shepparton, Cobram, Tocumwal, Finley, Jerilderie, Berrigan, Barooga, Invergordon and Strathmerton; with no competition from Shepparton in the Jerilderie area.
Throughout the years of operation, Gillespie Freight Service has developed a strong customer base with many repeat clients. The business has focused on outstanding customer service and providing a reliable freight service throughout Victoria and Southern NSW.
There is potential to grow the business with the expansion of its existing services. The current owner has not actively pursued new work and the injection of a new owner, would produce endless possibilities for the business.
There is significant additional opportunity to further grow the business with the implementation of a comprehensive marketing plan. The introduction of a business website along with local advertising and the utilisation of social media platforms will increase exposure to potential customers from specified demographic targets.
