With an annual turnover of $1.5M and five full time employees, ACTQ Septic Services offers grease trap and portable toilet (septic) services across ACT from its Queanbeyan-based facility.
Danny Conlon, Veolia’s Executive General Manager - Eastern Region, stated, “The decision to purchase ACTQ falls in line with Veolia’s strategic plans to expand our liquid waste solution offering, ensuring we have the capability to meet future market demand, while complementing our existing portfolio of waste management services.”
The acquisition was also aligned to meet service requirements for existing customers, such as the Department of Defence. It now enables Veolia to bring previously outsourced services, such as portable toilet hire, in-house.
Mr. Conlon added, “We can now offer a broader range of waste and wastewater management services to our ACT and regional NSW customers. The biggest benefit lies in being able to scale our local operations, which will enable better utilisation and reduce disposal costs.”
ACTQ was established in 1994 by Greg McAllister, and the ownership had remained unchanged since this time. Veolia commenced Operations on Monday 6th November 2017.
The ACTQ purchase is the fourth waste services business acquisition completed by Veolia in 2017. Earlier this year, Veolia successfully completed acquisitions of Catalyst, Ellwaste and Clean It, bolstering its services and capability across WA, VIC, NSW and QLD, respectively.
