Two Men and a Truck

What Two Men and a Truck does

Two Men and a Truck is a family-owned Australian removalist and relocation services company founded in 1993 by Richard Kuipers from a backyard in Cammeray, Sydney, with current leadership under CEO Catherine Kuipers. The company operates across 10 service hubs on the eastern seaboard (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Canberra, Newcastle, Sunshine Coast, Mornington Peninsula, Central Coast, and Northern Beaches), with a fleet of more than 100 trucks and a workforce of approximately 250 removalists executing roughly 16,000 moves annually. Service lines span local residential moves, commercial/office relocations, and long-distance interstate relocations (Sydney–Melbourne, Sydney–Brisbane, Melbourne–Brisbane) within 48-hour windows, supported by AFRA-accredited standards for 30+ years.

The operating platform combines a logistics and fleet management system with GPS-tracked trucks, an online quote and booking portal, and a customer review footprint of more than 10,000 reviews at a 4.8-star average across Trustpilot, Google, ProductReview, and Facebook. Ancillary offerings include storage in 24/7 CCTV-monitored facilities, packing services, recyclable boxes and packing materials, transit insurance (free basic cover plus Premium and Choice tiers underwritten via QBE Insurance and Cowden), rubbish removal, utility connection assistance, gift vouchers, and the BondSure rental-bond guarantee sub-brand.

Revenue is generated primarily through usage-based hourly rates (Sydney moves from $190/hr) plus a one-time call-out fee, with add-on services (insurance, storage, packing, boxes) and interstate jobs producing materially higher ticket sizes. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via website self-serve booking (suburb-specific landing pages driving local SEO), inbound phone sales (1300 880 412), and direct field delivery by employed teams. The business has no outside institutional ownership, no funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no public listing.
