We unlock the potential of frontline teams by balancing performance and wellbeing. Young Guns Container Crew was founded in 2004 by brothers Scott and Trent Young. At the time, they were chasing a dream of playing rugby league whilst juggling engineering studies at university and a casual job of unpacking shipping containers. The most unlikely opportunity arose when the brothers were asked to do a
job that required them to employ a couple of extra guys from the football club and it was here that Young Guns was born. Day-in and day-out, the brothers worked alongside their employees in warehouses. They worked hard, learning the business of people and the industry. Young Guns opened an office in Brisbane (Support Office), expanded into Melbourne, Sydney and then Perth. In 2020, Young Guns launched into South Australia and the Northern Territory. Now in its 18th year of business, Young Guns Container Crew operates in 4 countries and employees approximately 900 team members. Young Guns has transformed a typically unskilled, unreliable and highly transient work force into a highly engaged team of professionals delivering a service that not only packs and unpacks shipping containers but also drives innovation and improvements into the Supply Chain. The Young Guns power is in its people. The international business provides an accountable team of professionals to manage the container inbound/outbound area for customers and consistently challenge ‘best practice’. Young Guns Container Crew is a proud Indigenous business. It is committed to providing opportunities for its people and its customers.
