Higgins Ipswich opens its doors

We are excited to announce the opening of our new branch in Ipswich, which marks a significant milestone in our continued expansion across Queensland.

For several years, our teams have been completing projects in the region, working from our Brisbane branch. Now, with a local team in the area, we are eager to contribute to the growth of the Ipswich economy.

Our General Manager of Queensland, Cameron Steindl, has been instrumental in growing our team throughout the state. Cameron identified the potential for setting up a permanent office in Ipswich and hand-picked Josh Sutton to deliver 'whatever it takes' in the region.  

"The reason why we've chosen Josh to lead this branch is because Josh has been in our business almost five years, he's a local born and bred, Ipswich employee."  

Cameron mentioned that Josh possesses the skill set our company is looking for in new Branch Managers. "He's gained a great profile in this area and comes with a technical background. Josh has great expertise within sales, and managing a team, and we think he's the right fit for the Ipswich region.

Josh boasts over 22 years of experience, beginning his career as a painting apprentice in Ipswich. Venturing outside of his hometown enabled Josh to significantly enhance his skillset. "I've had the opportunity to work on large-scale projects throughout South-East Queensland." 

All roads led Josh home.  "I'm excited about the opportunity to come back to Ipswich and assist our clients."  

But providing tailored painting solutions wasn't the only item on Josh's agenda for his return to his roots. "Through our existing partnerships, we are involved with many community projects, well-being and sporting programs. It's great to engage with and support the local community. "

Our goal is to be a reliable partner for all painting and maintenance needs, providing tailored solutions that stand the test of time.

We invite all those within the Ipswich community to reach out to Josh and his team for any upcoming commercial painting needs.
