Our History


History of Toll Group

Toll People has a proud history of growth and success through its parent company, the Toll Group.

Toll Group is the Asia Pacific region’s leading provider of integrated logistics services.

Established in Newcastle, Australia in 1888 by Albert F Toll, the business was sold in 1986 to a management buyout team led by current Managing Director Paul Little and Toll Group’s first Chairman Peter Rowsthorn. Following the buyout, Toll Group was listed on the ASX in 1993 and has grown to become one of Australia’s most dependable performers on the stock exchange.

The company’s first-class collection of and around-the-clock access to transport and infrastructure assets including road fleets, air and marine capacity, warehousing, ports and railways helps us to achieve world-best practice in supply chain management, year after year.

The Toll Group’s focused and integrated approach to its operations, its proud heritage within the transport and logistics industries and our capability to deliver complete recruitment solutions and personal service is what makes Toll People the preferred business partner of choice for many of Australia’s industry leaders and key performers.
