& LOGISTICS

Adrian Booth, Business Development

Manager of Rocke Brothers describes

the operations, “Currently we are con-

structing a purpose-built facility in

Geelong. It is partially in conjunction

with the City of Geelong council. The

facility’s size is 10 acres with 50% be-

ing dedicated hardstand. The remain-

ing 5 acres gives us room to grow,

should the demand require it. We are,

and will continue to be the largest car-

rier in the area.

“We deliver things like timber, grain,

beer and cotton, we also work for a

number of freight forwarders, some of

whom are the biggest in the country.

Freight forwarders move everything so

we could be carrying various types of

goods.

“We now offer quarantine unpack-

ing inspection. We offer fumigation as

well. We have three warehouses on the

Brooklyn site where we unpack con-

tainers for clients’ and redeliver their

goods as many customers do not have

the capability of unloading a container

so we do it for them.”

At the time the decision to shift to

Geelong was taken, Rocke Brothers

Managing Director, Matt Simmons

said, “Rocke Brothers is committed to

being part of rebuilding economic en-

terprise in Geelong and looks forward

to being a part of a vibrant enterprise

community.”
