Few business owners expect to face a total operational wipe-out just eight months after taking the reins. Yet for the new owners of All Fleet, that became reality when the March 2022 Brisbane floods devastated their Rocklea facility.
Despite the scale of the challenge, the team had little time to dwell on the setback. Instead, they rallied together, prioritised their customers, and returned to business as usual in record time.
Today, All Fleet has not only recovered but evolved. The business has relocated, expanded, and upgraded, now operating from a modern facility in Richlands. Fully equipped to support heavy vehicle fleets across Brisbane and South-East Queensland, the new site provides enhanced capability – and importantly, peace of mind, being located in a flood-free zone.
Founded in 1991 by Norm Holman, All Fleet has built a strong reputation over more than three decades. In 2021, ownership transitioned to Jade Lewis, a mechanic by trade and an experienced fleet owner. Jade brought hands-on leadership, renewed energy, and a clear vision: to grow the business while preserving the strong customer relationships and reputation already in place.
Over the years, All Fleet has earned the trust of major transport operators and has maintained Authorised Inspection Station status. Its reputation is grounded in technical expertise, practical problem-solving, and consistent delivery – whether the task is routine maintenance or complex fleet repairs.
Equally central to All Fleet’s success is its people. The team is close-knit, with many mechanics choosing to build long-term careers within the business. Workshop Manager David Holman is a testament to that culture, having completed his apprenticeship at All Fleet before returning full circle to lead the workshop. Another qualified mechanic began as a parts driver, progressed through an apprenticeship, and now enjoys the rewards of being fully trade-qualified – a clear example of the company’s commitment to developing talent from within.
The Rocklea floods stand as a defining chapter in All Fleet’s history. Faced with one of its greatest challenges, the business did not pause – it pushed forward, emerging stronger, more resilient, and better positioned for the future.
All Fleet’s vision is clear: to be Brisbane’s leading independently owned heavy-vehicle workshop. The business is committed to industry-leading standards, ongoing investment in its people, and fostering a team-focused environment built on credibility, knowledge, and a strong sense of belonging. Its workforce remains its greatest strength – experienced, skilled, and empowered to meet the demands of an ever-evolving industry.
With its expansion complete and demand continuing to grow, All Fleet is currently seeking experienced Heavy Diesel Mechanics to join the team for the long term. Successful applicants will work in a modern, fully equipped workshop alongside professionals who value teamwork, skill, and pride in workmanship. Applications can be submitted via email. All Fleet’s story is still being written – and the road ahead has never looked brighter.
