History

The Markwell Group was established in 1980, the business started with a shovel and a utility. The Markwell Group was provided with the opportunity to purchase an excavator to rockbreak in Papua New Guinea. From there the business grew and has developed into a business with over 60 machines.

Community

The Markwell Group has long been a supporter of various community organisations throughout the North Queensland region.

Their continued dedication to community minded initiatives is reflected in the many sponsorship and fund-raising activities that they have been involved in over the years.

The most significant of which raised $90,000 for the Beacon Foundation when the Markwell Group Managing Director, Gavin Markwell, out bid contractors from around Australia for a unique piece of Australian artwork: A Komatsu PC200-7 excavator, completely painted by legendary artist Pro Hart.
