HISTORY
The Establishment date of Neil's Transport P/L was in 1946 when
Erle Neil commenced supplying and carrying timber for the local merchants in
the Southern Riverina area of New South Wales and Northern Central areas of Victoria
in an army blitz prime mover, with a 9 metre single axle trailer.
Over the progressing years the transport
business varied according to the economy and Government controls. By
the early 1960's the main operation was stock cartage and some general
products, i.e. bagged cement and drums of fuel, with 6 'S' model Bedford
prime movers.
At this time Jan Neil (Erle's son) became
involved in the business and progressed to be General Manager. The
business was sold to Wm. Charlick Ltd in 1978 at which time there were
some 40-company vehicles plus 40 permanent sub-contractors. The company
was also involved in bulk commodities and palletised storage for such
companies as Murray Goulburn Co-Op,Ricegrowers, Woolworths, AWB, NSW
Grain Board, and various other companies.
The re-establishment of Neil's Transport P/L was in
1989 and a third generation with Andrew Neil (Jan's son) becoming involved
in the storage and grain trading operations with turnovers reaching
$30 million.
With the loss of Erle in 1990 and Andrew in 1995, the
family decided to
dispose of the grain operations and concentrate on the transport arm
of the business. That has developed to the stage whereby Jan Neil's
daughters, Penelope Jackson and Felicity Neil own the business with
Andrew Jackson and Damien Quirk controlling the day to day running
of the business.
