The Simon family know timber. Their history in the industry dates back to 1928 when Morgan Hugh Simon founded a timber yard to sell from his Cooyar mill. In 1950 Simon Pty Ltd was formed. Over the years the company expanded into hardware and, more recently, into the DIY market, but their core business and passion remains with timber and providing their, predominantly trade, customers with good value, high quality products and second-to-none service that is all about providing their customers with solutions; to ensure they get the job done right and on time. One could argue that the Simon’s have had some major influence in the industry, with former CEO Ross Simon basically pioneering the use of termite resistant timber.
The success of the business is largely attributed to its people, many of whom have been in the industry for over 30, 40 and even 50 years; with some having spent their entire working-life at Simon’s. Simon’s can literally boast hundreds and hundreds of years combined industry experience. They truly know their products and understand the challenges of their customers. This, of course means it’s really important to listen to the needs of customers, to align oneself with the best partners in the industry, keep up with technology and developments, which necessitates committing to ongoing investment. Their 5000m2 frame & truss plant on the Sunshine Coast has just undergone a $1.5m upgrade, making it the most up-to-date and efficient truss production system in south-east Queensland, if not Australia. Toowoomba also has its own frame & truss production plant and, of course, both Toowoomba & Ipswich have large under-cover timber sheds. Ipswich’s timber shed is probably one of the largest in the State, if not country.
Simon Home Timber & Hardware and Simon Home Frame & Truss provide customers with one-stop, holistic solutions. They understand that the success of their customers guarantees their own success, so they always strive for excellence. And Simon simply lives and breathes timber. Someone once said, if you cut a Simon, they would bleed sap.
