Young Guns was founded in 2004 by brothers Scott and Trent Young. At the time, they were chasing a dream of playing professional rugby league. The most unlikely opportunity arose when the brothers were asked to do a job that required them to employ a couple of guys from the football club to unpack a shipping container. It was here that Young Guns was born.
Day-in and day-out, the brothers worked alongside their employees in warehouses. They worked hard, learning the business of people and the industry.
Young Guns was getting a reputation for the service they were delivering. They opened an office in Brisbane, expanded into Melbourne, Sydney, Perth followed by Adelaide and then Darwin. A decade in to business and Trent and Scott have expanded from Australia into Canada, New Zealand and USA with over 1000 team members. Business growth means the jobs and opportunities for young people continues to expand.
Young Guns has transformed a typically unskilled, unreliable and highly transient work force into a highly engaged team of professionals delivering a service that not only packs and unpacks shipping containers but drives significant improvements into the Supply Chain.
Today, Young Guns’ power is in its people. The international business provides an accountable team of professionals to manage the container inbound/outbound area for customers and consistently challenge ‘best practice’.
Young Guns is committed to challenging and supporting its people and its customers to be their best version.
