Press Release: FleetCrew announces new Canberra branch

FleetCrew, Queensland’s leading specialist 4WD hire company, has officially expanded into the ACT, opening a new agency in Canberra to meet increasing demand from clients operating across southern New South Wales and the nation’s capital.

The move marks a significant milestone for FleetCrew, opening its first branch outside of Queensland — a strategic step driven by strong existing client demand and continued growth in infrastructure and renewable energy projects across Eastern Australia.

FleetCrew Director & Co-Founder Ben Harris said the Canberra agency will play a key role in supporting projects such as Hume Link and Snowy 2.0, along with a range of renewable, civil, and construction developments throughout the ACT and southern NSW.

“Canberra is a natural next step for FleetCrew,” said Harris. “There’s substantial growth happening across the ACT and southern NSW, particularly with large-scale renewable and civil infrastructure projects. Many of our existing clients are already operating in this region, so it made sense to establish a local presence that allows us to deliver the same reliable, compliant 4WD hire solutions they expect.”

Harris, who was born and raised in Canberra, said the decision also carries personal significance.

“Having grown up here, I know Canberra and its surrounding areas well. It’s exciting to bring the FleetCrew brand to my hometown and to be represented locally by someone I’ve known and respected for many years,” he said.

The new FleetCrew Canberra agency will be led by Sean Hunt. Hunt will manage vehicle delivery services, logistics, customer service, as well as maintenance and detailing for FleetCrew vehicles throughout the ACT and surrounding NSW regions.

“Sean is a great fit to represent the FleetCrew product and brand in our nation’s capital,” Harris said. “He’s deeply embedded in the local automotive community and understands what customers need when it comes to reliability, safety, and service. We’re confident he’ll deliver the same quality FleetCrew experience our clients rely on.”

Hunt said he is proud to take on the role and excited to bring FleetCrew’s high standard of service to Canberra and beyond.

“FleetCrew has built a reputation for quality vehicles and exceptional service — values that align perfectly with how I’ve approached my work in the motor industry,” Hunt said. “Our Canberra base means clients working on infrastructure projects throughout the region can now access a high standard of site-ready 4WDs locally, supported by a team that understands their operational needs.”

The Canberra agency will enable FleetCrew to support current clients who have embraced the company’s vehicle delivery and network maintenance service in the past, as well as new local clients seeking fully compliant, ready-for-site 4WD hire vehicles. The fleet will include mine- and civil-spec vehicles, configured with the latest safety and compliance technology, available for short- and long-term hire.

FleetCrew Director & Co-Founder, Mary-Ann Strelow, is also relishing the experience:

“We’re excited to be opening in the ACT. We identified the need for a 4WD hire specialist in the market, and this new branch will allow us to better support our existing clients and Fleet already working in the region while also providing quick access to locally based vehicles.”

“We look forward to supporting major infrastructure and energy projects while continuing to provide the flexible, customer-focused service that defines our brand,” said Strelow. “This expansion is about growing with our clients and helping them keep their projects moving — safely and efficiently.”
