McColl’s began as a family run operation in 1952 with a single vehicle doing the milk run between the Western District and Geelong. In those days the collection of milk was done in vats and cans and is a far cry from how it is done today.
Even today, as a multi-million dollar operation and as one of Australia’s leading transport companies, McColl’s is recognised for the way it treats its staff and customers with old fashioned family values still at its core.
