Hazell Bros was founded in 1944 by brothers Donald and Rowley Hazell as a transport business operating in Southern Tasmania. In the 1950s, Hazell Bros became involved in earthmoving projects and by the 1970s a civil construction arm began. Over the next 30 years, the business continued to expand throughout Tasmania, adding two dolerite quarries, seven concrete batch plants, a commercial building b
usiness and a crane company to the portfolio. In 2010, Hazell Bros expanded into Victoria and Queensland acquiring civil construction and plant hire operations and in 2013, was awarded a five-year contract with Nyrstar Port Pirie (SA) for materials handling and dust suppression activities. Hazell Bros remains a family-owned and operated business with second-generation brothers Geoffrey, Managing Director, and Robert, Director, owning and heading up operations. Throughout its 75-year history, Hazell Bros has expanded into and contracted from various operations to meet the prevailing economic conditions, however, has held true to its early beginnings maintaining transport service and civil construction operations throughout the years. During 2014/15 the commercial building, cranes and Victorian operations have been sold or scaled back to allow a focus on our core business functions: Civil Construction; Quarries; Concrete; and Industrial and Asset Services. Our 700-strong team of employees are the mainstay of the business and their diversity provides Hazell Bros with the skills to ensure we continually add value and exceed our clients’ expectations. Backed by our training and development programs, our people show a commitment to our safety culture based on family values and initiative. With a large privately owned fleet of vehicles, plant and equipment, plus extensive quarry and product interests, Hazell Bros enjoys a longstanding reputation for reliability in providing plant and equipment solutions and the supply of quality products and materials. Continually exploring new opportunities and constantly challenging the status quo will see us remain at the forefront of our respective businesses.
