Read the full storyOften described as the “cane farmer’s supermarket”, Ingham Agencies has been serving the community under the management of the Pelleri family since 1994 and exists as a celebrated industrial and agricultural equipment supplier.
Collectively, Ingham Agencies operates locations in both Ingham and Tully, and effectively incorporate general engineering, retail, transportation and manufacturing services into their business structure to better accommodate clients and expand their customer base.
With expertise in agricultural manufacturing, Ingham Agencies specialises in manufacturing harvester parts, and tillage equipment along with carrying out general engineering, and repairs to further cater to the requirements of industrial and agricultural professionals in and around the community.
“We offer a broad range of services, and we cover the needs of cane farmers and industrial businesses between Ingham and Tully,” shared Michael.
A proud, family-owned business, Michael Pelleri and his wife Siobhan Pelleri have managed Ingham Agencies since his parents retired just over six years ago, and the pair pride themselves on continuing to uphold the same levels of customer service and expertise established thirty years ago.
Reflecting on the past three decades, Michael notes raising six children as an achievement he’s most proud of, and reminisces on establishing the business’ Tully branch, transport depot in Townsville and introducing transportation in 2009 into the mix as additional milestones.
“The transport business, QS Transport, was started to cater for the transportation needs of Ingham Agencies, and it’s grown from starting with one small, single axel truck to now running three semi trucks,” added Michael.
“QS Transport has been a major asset – it allows us to be far more flexible in our supply and services and puts us in control of our freight requirements.”
In seeing the whole picture, Ingham Agencies understands the integral role they play in supporting the success of the region’s sugar industry, and are committed to supporting the professionals in the industry to fulfill their industrial and agricultural endeavours.
