BDS Mechanical originally started in Roma, Queensland, Australia but has now expanded to over 600,000 km² of Queensland and Western Australia.
The Beginning
BDS mechanical repairs started operation in early 2011. Owner Ben Sullivan was approached to manage and maintain a large mining fleet. Immediately seeing an opportunity to start a business, Ben took on the role. Over time, BDS has grown into the successful business it is today.
Employee Growth
In 2012, BDS began supplying fitters and mechanics to the resource sector and quickly found that there was a demand for good quality mechanics to service this industry.
Workshop Expansion
In 2016 BDS backed-up the field service units with workshops in key locations across QLD and a mobile fleet for WA. BDS then began working on supply to the NT.
BDS opened workshops in Bundaberg and Roma.
Workshop Expansion
After the success the Bundaberg and Roma workshops brought, BDS opened up 8 more workshops in Queensland during this 2 year period: Chinchilla, Toowoomba, Moura, Moranbah, Maryborough, Gold Coast, Mackay and Middlemount.
Workshop Expansion
BDS continues to expand across Queensland even further, opening up workshops in Townsville, Gladstone, Doomadgee, Rockhampton, Gracemere, Cairns, Kowanyama and Miles.
Growing Success
BDS Mechanical Repairs has now expanded to over 600,000 km² of Queensland with 22 fixed workshops and 160 field service units. BDS has a large fleet of service vehicles. This fleet is ever-growing to meet industry demands and needs.
BDS Mechanical's newest workshop is located in Cloncurry that will act as our supporting hub to our Doomadgee, Normanton and Kowanyama sites.
We are now currently providing staffing support and field service in Western Australia.
