Followmont Transport has expanded its Townsville depot, adding a 3000 square metre warehouse and a 1500 square metre all-weather breezeway.
The transport operator says the site, located at Everett Street, Bohle, has undergone significant upgrades this year to accommodate future growth and enhance operational capabilities.
Townsville is a key hub in Followmont’s network, and this extension and land purchase positions the company for long-term opportunities.
This expansion will support the business’ continued growth in Queensland and New South Wales by providing dedicated 3PL (Third Party Logistics) storage.
Mark Tobin, managing director and CEO of Followmont, said: “Our investment in Townsville reflects our long-term vision and commitment to providing our customers with unmatched service.
“This expansion coupled with the purchase of 38 Everett St, gives us the capacity we need to meet the demands of our customers while also contributing positively to the local community.
“Our property strategy has always been a pillar of our success.
“Working closely with Bootooloo Property has given us the flexibility to adapt and grow our business while maintaining control over our assets.”
The expansion aims to provide increased capacity for 3PL operations and customer storage needs.
Bootooloo Property was launched in 2017 and is Followmont’s building arm, allowing the business to build all its own sites.
Cassie Eivers, group property, facilities and project manager at Bootooloo Holdings, which led the project, added: “The completion of this project not only provides the additional space Followmont needs, but also ensures that the local team has the infrastructure required to continue delivering for their customers.”
