ABOUT MCQUEEN GROUP
WE'VE BEEN BUILDING THINGS SINCE 1994
Here's the thing about us. We're not your typical corporate acquisition machine. We're a Melbourne and Brisbane-based group that genuinely strives for positive impact.
Over the past 30 years, we've learned that the best partnerships happen when the values of two parties coming together align. We're not interested in quick flips or dramatic overhauls. We're interested in taking great businesses and making them even better.
Whether you are looking for near term succession like retirement, or looking to join a growing business that has built out the requisite team and systems and have already gone through the usual growing pains, we would like to talk to you to see if our values and aspirations align.
If you are a business that prides itself on client relationships, then our values are already aligned - we'd love to talk.
Your success is our success
Why work with us?
we actually get it
We've been in business for over 30 years. We understand what it takes to build something from scratch. That's why we approach every partnership with genuine respect for what you've created.
your people matter
We're not coming in to clean house. Good people are hard to find, and if you've built a solid team, we are always looking to add to the McQueen family.
You Stay...
You
The culture and values that made your business successful? We're here to add resources and expertise, not change what's already working.

NO SURPRISES, NO DRAMA
HOW WE DO THINGS
We believe business deals should be straightforward. Here's how we typically approach things:
WEEK 1-2: COFFEE AND CONVERSATION
Let's get to know each other. No pressure, no commitments. Just an honest chat about our businesses and the direction we could take them.
WEEK 3-6: LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD
We do our homework (and you should do yours on us). This is where we both figure out if this goes further.
WEEK 7-8: MAKING IT OFFICIAL
If we're both excited about moving forward, we work out the details that make sense for your situation.
THE LONG HAUL: GROWING TOGETHER
The real work starts here. We roll up our sleeves and get to work on realising the benefits of our joining forces.
