"JUST TRY US" The Tradeware story starts as far back as 1983 when founder and owner Mitch began driving trucks for a local sawmill. This saw him experience all facets of the timber industry from sawmilling and despatching to retail and trade timber sales all over south east Queensland. With this experience in hand Mitch later took on the role of managing a retail & trade outlet in Cleveland which gave him the opportunity to apply what he'd learnt. Mitch quickly improved and expanded the business and was soon asked by the owners to work his same 'magic' on some of their other outlets. By late 1993 Mitch realised that with his knowledge of the timber industry and his understanding of people's needs that he could use these skills to open his own timber yard … and a short time later Tradeware was formed. Over the following 10 years Mitch, with the help of his wife Leonie, developed Tradeware into a thriving business with a reputation for offering top quality products and first-class service. In October 2004 the decision was made to take it a step further - to expand Tradeware in terms of facilities and market appeal. This has seen a complete overhaul of both the yard and buildings, the incorporation of a lattice factory and importantly, the development of comprehensive display and showroom facilities which now form the Tradeware of today.
