Business Story
Banks Transport (formally known as Steve Banks Transport + Earthmoving) is a local Whitsunday business that have been relocating heavy machinery, landscape supplies and vehicles for over 35 years. Banks transport also offer storage solutions and earthmoving services as well as being able to deliver landscaping supplies right to their customers door, especially if that door is on the various islands in the Whitsunday Region. With such a vast variety of services, this business has become such a convenience for clients while also dedicating themselves to providing top-quality, hassle-free service.
The current owner has spent years developing a fantastic client base and takes pride in their long-lasting customer relationships. This has spread the name of Banks Transport all through the Whitsunday region and has become a staple in the community for these niche services. With all plant and equipment included for the sale, everything is set up for a new owner to take this business to the next level and continue the long-standing customer relationships.
This company has a massive opportunity for growth by expanding on their advertising and on social media. Pushing the advertising across the Whitsunday region could help to draw in more customers. This could lead to even expanding outside of the region and servicing the Central Queensland area.
The seller has truly set this business up for success and has it ready to hand over to the next dedicated buyer. A business like this gives you the freedom to operate to your liking and allows you to give it your own personal touch. It could be a suitable opportunity if you already have the know-how in dealing with heavy machinery and large projects, or you could even implement a management structure for this very profitable opportunity.
The current owner of the business has been operating the business for 35 years now and wishes to retire. If this incredibly profitable transport and earthmoving opportunity interests you, give us a call today!

Phil started his working career in purchasing with large and multi-national companies in Sydney.
A family relocation to Bowen in 1974 was the catalyst to owning his own business.
Phil has been in various businesses from Pest Control to Delicatessen/Takeaway and has for the last 39 years built a wholesale business that has served Bowen, Whitsundays, Mackay and the Coalfields, from 1 truck and himself to 6 trucks and 15 employees.
This has given Phil a very solid knowledge of the area from Bowen to Rockhampton and what it takes to thrive in business there.
Phil has a strong knowledge of business and business practices built through the process of growing his own business as well as time spent on State Franchise Council and dealing with the many changing government policies in those 39 years.
The process of selling his own business has shown Phil the real need for a locally based business broker, easily contacted and heavily focused on the Central Queensland area, which has led to his involvement in CQ Business Brokers.
