Walkers Moving & Storage (Walkers) are delighted to be ranked 262 in 2011 top 400 privately owned companies in Queensland. Walkers ranking among Queensland top 400 privately owned businesses is based on independent research conducted under the sponsorship of the Queensland Business Review, PWC, Burrell Stock broking and Superannuation, OAMPS Insurance Brokers, APN Print and QUT Business School.
Warren Strickland - Walkers Director had this to say about their return to 2011 Q400 companies:-
“Walkers are surprised to be recognized again for their outstanding achievement in business and for its contribution to the economic growth of Queensland, especially in a year when we fought off the devastating effects of the Brisbane floods, on the back of the Global Financial Crisis. We would like to take this opportunity to credit this ranking to the amazing support from the following important people, firstly our very loyal customers in Qld and NSW who supported us as we fought off our biggest challenge yet, this combined with continued support from suppliers, and our incredible team (staff) who worked along side myself and my family here at Walkers and lets not forget the amazing volunteers. We received an incredible numbers of offers of help from past employees, neighbours, friends, friends of friends, industry colleagues, family, and current and past customers who gave us their time in the cleanup from the disaster of last January. We will be forever in your debt”.

To valued storage client
The Queensland floods
As a valued customer, we are writing to you to provide you with up to date information about the effect the Queensland floods have had on our Brisbane facility and the urgent need to relocate.
We would also like to advise you that we have found new premises to operate our business from at 8A Colebard Street East, Acacia Ridge (a photograph is below) and will commence relocation from Friday 21 January 2011. As you would appreciate, our old premises are no longer safe for public access.
Again we hope that you and your families stayed safe during the floods. Our best wishes go out to everybody affected by these floods.
Yours sincerely
Warren Strickland
Director
