When it comes to plant and machinery hire in Brisbane, one name stands out from the crowd: D & M Plant Hire.
Indeed, it's fair to say that the business' services and equipment have helped shape the Queensland capital into the bustling metropolis it is today.
The large earthmoving family business was literally built from the ground up with one truck and a lot of determination after it was first established by Doug and Margaret Phillips in 1972. Over the decades D & M Plant Hire grew substantially, evolving into a robust plant hire business.
After Doug passed away, his son Ray took over the reins as Managing Director, having inherited his father's prowess, hardworking attitude, remarkable business acumen and strong proactive focus on providing excellent customer service.
Ray said that D & M Plant Hire was a leader in wet and dry hire of late model civil construction equipment and trucks for bulk and detailed earthworks on oil, gas and mining sites, road and rail work.
"We are based at Cleveland in the bayside of Brisbane, providing excavation services to major construction groups, throughout the greater Brisbane metro areas including Ipswich, Logan, and Gold Coast areas," Ray said.
