About the Organisation

Proudly Australian owned and operated, and employing 140 dedicated people across their 7 dealerships in Southern Queensland, David Evans Group is and always will be a "big" little family-owned business.
"My name is Shane, and I have been with David Evans Group for 12 months. They impressed me so much, I packed up my wife and 3 young children and moved from Victoria to Toowoomba, QLD to join David Evans Group. I had worked for a manufacturer that supplied DEG among others Australia wide, and I saw DEG as one of the leading Agricultural Machinery dealers in Australia. DEG represent major tractor franchises Kubota and New Holland, and most major implement and after-sales brands, distributed from our own warehouse to all of the DEG dealerships in QLD. DEG is without a doubt the best company I have worked for. The group is well supported by efficient warehouse staff, with excellent support from the group head office. DEG provides a fantastic work environment, with all work needs catered for, and offers a generous reward system for high performers."

In order to provide the most efficient and productive solutions to their customers, they import from across the globe, offering the best farming products, supported by advice from people who really understand the needs of rural life and work.
