WELCOME

We're a second generation, family business that started in Perth, Western Australia over 30 years ago and now services trolleys nationwide

We offer onsite servicing and repair wherever you are – and have hundreds of happy customers in metropolitan, regional and remote locations.

How we've grown - from servicing 6 stores in 1989 to over 600 today!

When Des Woodman came up with the concept in 1989, we were the first in WA (and possibly Australia) to create a business offering state-wide trolley repairs and maintenance. Today we deliver a total trolley maintenance solution including onsite service & repair – no matter where your store is located, as well as fleet refurbishment, welding & fabrication, cleaning & sanitising, and preventative maintenance programs.

From humble beginnings, with six Woolworths stores in Perth, South West Trolley now work with over 600 sites, and are the preferred Woolworths supplier in three states – WA, SA & NT. We service many other retailers too and believe that it’s our people that are are integral to our success. Our key personnel are:

Tim Woodman, Owner Manager

– Tim became a partner in the business some 10 years ago and, having taken over the day-to-day management and operations from his father Des Woodman, he represents the second generation in this family business. Tim brings an in-depth knowledge of the industry, as a result of literally growing up with it and being involved for some 20 years; as well as being a qualified Boilermaker with a Cert IV in Engineering Fabrication. While he enjoys being on the tools, Tim is also responsible for introducing new & better systems and compliance processes, including a comprehensive overhaul of their OH&S procedures.

Des Woodman, Founder & Owner

– Des started the business back in 1989 in the Rockingham-Kwinana area of WA, when he was looking for a lifestyle change for himself and his family. His background in accounting and banking was invaluable in creating and building South West Trolleys to be the a sustainable business it is today. While he’s handed over the management of the business to his son Tim, Des is still currently involved in operations and particularly enjoys working with regional and remote clients in between his fishing trips!

Donna Taylor, Adminstration Manager

– Donna is Tim’s partner and mother to their four children. It’s a busy life managing a young family and running a successful business – particularly one with the challenges of coordinating jobs nationwide and in remote & rural areas – but together they have made it work. Donna’s responsibilities include administration, accounts, compliance and business development.
