BRISBANE: October 2021 – Montague Queensland, part of Australia’s leading fresh produce company, is delighted to announce the expansion of its Brisbane Markets-based operations with the addition of the ten-strong team from T-Produce.

According to General Manager Queensland, Hamish Montague, these new team members bring a wealth of experience and industry expertise in new-to-the-company product lines, such as onions, potatoes, citrus, ginger, grapes, broccoli, lettuce, and garlic alongside the existing range of apple, pears, stone fruit and cherries.  Montague management welcome T-Produce this month.

“They bring a wide range of complementary skills to our existing capabilities, and joining us enables significant succession planning, so we can continue to service our customers in the future.”
